Blockchain and DAPP Developer Jobs

There is a demand for devs that list blockchain as a skill or (if you are willing to travel) have highly specialized skills with certain blockchains. There is no demand for someone who lists “blockchain” solely or unsupported on their resume

I got caught in the same net. Spent a year as a dev trying to make a career happen, but all I found were a few short term contract gigs. This was in 2018, just after market all time highs. I'm pretty convinced that the demand that the industry talks about really isn't there, or at the very least, they are recycling old 2017 data (ico craze) and passing it off as still true.

Many projects are giving money to develop on their protocols.

Ex: $50k + mentorship: https://boost.arweave.org/

Blockstack may have an app reward program as well, but it may have ended now as I don't keep up with the project closely.

They've been calling the period lately as the “blockchain winter”. It may warm up again soon, though, imo
