In the Cordoba Bitcoin community numerous people and companies inside and outside the ecosystem are sure that blockchain will change the world and that every day the new industry will grow more. In this framework, the writer Sasha Ivanova shares with CriptoNoticias her ideas about how to start working on blockchain-based projects.

It is commented that the word "blockchain" in the curriculum increases the salary by about 25-50%. Telegram chats are constantly looking for developers, managers, editors, authors, but many people still see the blockchain industry with distrust and can not say that there is a queue of candidates at the doors of startup offices. In this article we put together a list of professions with the description of the necessary skills, recommendations and salaries in the ecosystem.

## ¿WHAT DOES THE BLOCKCHAIN ​​PEOPLE THINK ABOUT?
So, what is it that takes people away from the idea of ​​trying out a promising new industry? Opinions are divided: some specialists do not want to overcome the stress of adaptation, others are interested, but do not know where to start.

Quite a few developers doubt that blockchain has interesting challenges. Many are uncomfortable with math and cryptography. Some people confuse the development of intelligent contracts in Solidity and the development of new blockchains in C ++, Rust and Golang.

"How to program this? In what environment? How to do the tests? What can be solved with these smart contracts, how to integrate them with CRM? There is no clear guide! "Says Roman, Perl Developer

Journalists, authors and publishers do not know how to distinguish sources of information and which are reliable. Some think that there are no true experts and that all those who speak at conferences are charlatans.

"I do not want to write about blockchain, because for me it is complicated, and understanding the subject requires effort. At the same time, I understand that it is a super useful and great technology. But people have their limits of understanding. For my grandfather, that limit was the Internet, and for me, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, "says Iván, editor.

For managers, the load and amount of work is not evident.

"I think it's like the boom of startups - you leave stable work for a large company, salary, bonuses. Start with a promising startup and in half a year spend the investment and go bankrupt. It is also not clear how irregular the working day is: if it takes me 18 hours a day, thank you, but no, "Julia, manager.

Marketing professionals do not understand the market and are afraid of international challenges.

"I do not like this agitation, it's pure hype [euphoria]. I'm interested in projects in the real sector related to logistics, and not this bubble, "says Constantino, marketer.

## BECAUSE WORKING ON A BLOCKCHAIN ​​PROJECT IS PURE JOY

The technology is only nine years old and now the blockchain has really reached big silver. This is a young market, which promises enormous growth and rapid movement in the career.

Blockchain solves the problem of trust and is capable of making a revolution in all areas where there is interaction between people: finances, identity, documents, health, Internet of Things. Imagine a world where you can not be fooled. The basic principles of blockchain are transparency, distribution and impossibility of falsification.

Almost all professionals in the industry are pioneers who learned by themselves. The universities are just thinking about starting to give subjects related to blockchain. Because of this, many large companies accept interns and inexperienced specialists and are willing to pay well.

Blockchain is an international market and the Spanish-speaking world has many opportunities to achieve a high position in the new cryptoeconomy.

## ¿WHO HIRES?
In principle, emerging companies or startups created to compete in the blockchain ecosystem and which in turn are creating the infrastructure of cryptoeconomics: platforms, transaction systems, Lightning Network.

Also projects that focus on ICO launches need marketing specialists with the skills to promote projects in international markets.

"Development projects within the social network in Steemit blockchain. For example, for the Venezuelan community, we created a bot that helps you become familiar with the platform for beginners and invites them to chat rooms. ", Said Ezequiel Juarez.

The consortiums begin to include blockchain specialists in their work schemes. For example, the R3 consortium is a banking association that studies the integration of the blockchain in the financial sector. It includes well-known banks such as the Japanese bank Mizuho, ​​the Italian UniCredit and the Swedish Nordea, among others. Every month more members join.

IT corporations such as IBM and Microsoft are investing in their own blockchain and are planning to implement their innovations.

The Mexican and Venezuelan governments are paying attention to the development of regulations for the use of cryptocurrencies. In other latitudes Japan and European countries are in the vanguard in this matter.

Many service companies related to insurance, medicine, and transportation have begun to make their processes of information storage and verification of data through blockchain technology.

For all jobs there are common requirements recommended for candidates:

- Know English at the level of understanding, communication and the ability to work with sources in this language.

- Know the principles of flexible Agile development (SCRUM), be prepared to work on short sprints and show visible results.

- Time management, teamwork, the ability to prioritize.

- Want to work in a constantly changing environment. In blockchain something changes every day.

## DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND COMPUTER EMPLOYMENT
Usually a startup blockchain grows exponentially after the launch. For this reason, these projects require designers, front-end and back-end developers all the time.

A UX designer has to design the landing page or the web of the blockchain project. For the ICO sites the templates are not used for security reasons, then the creation work of the site will include the prototype and the design. The designer must know how to make the layouts.

Required skills: prototype creation, attention management. The blockchain projects have already formed a minimalist recognizable visual style. Examples can be seen in the portfolio of the agency The Codeine, who created Golem and Qtum.

Usually a designer signs a contract for the duration of the project, it is estimated that the remuneration can be from $ 1000 to $ 1500 per month.

After the ICO or project launch, the design team can be complemented by an illustrator who makes all the graphic materials in a unique style. If the project makes the mobile application, they need a UI designer to develop the application interface. Cripto newspapers also look for illustrators and designers of infographics frequently.

Front-end developers with skills in UX design and prototyping make sites for ICO. An experienced back-end developer with technical director capabilities is responsible for security.

Web developers are indispensable in projects that launch an ICO without its own blockchain. There is enough CTO that can control the development of the site, make vulnerability tests and prepare to repel attacks from hackers during the sale of collection or crowdsale.

It is important to remember that developers do not have to create their own blockchain in any project immediately.

This article in English will help you study the basic aspects of blockchain for web developers. The web developer fee starts at $ 700 and reaches $ 1500 per month.

Numerous developers use Solidity, this is the language of smart contracts based on Ethereum.

"The language is at a relatively early stage of development, it still does not have complex constructions or unique abstractions. Anyone with programming experience can program at Solidity after 20 minutes of reading the documentation. ", Says Sergey, blockchain advisor and web developer.
