China's need for blockchain technology experts is soaring, with blockchain job opportunities growing 9.7 times year over year between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28, according to a study from recruiting app Boss Zhipin.
Blockchain has inverted the traditional production model and given rise to a new type of Internet, making many enterprises eager to secure a piece of the market, says Boss Zhipin Research director Chang Meng. Employers also are highly valuing skills such as coding, graphic design, and search algorithms, and candidates with interdisciplinary and multiple skills will have a competitive edge.
Chang cautions that blockchain is "still at an early stage, and we don't know exactly how such technology is going to hit the market. No actual product is put into use yet, so we'll just have to wait and see."
