Python Dev Exploring Global Blockchain Job Opportunities
I’ve spent the last 8 years as a Python developer, and I’m finally making the leap into blockchain development. Super stoked about this change, but… how do I even navigate this?
😅 I’m aiming to work internationally, but honestly, I’m a bit stuck on where to focus. Would really appreciate advice from anyone in the trenches! Where’s the demand? I keep hearing conflicting things—some say Switzerland or Singapore are hot, others mention remote roles in the U.S. or Germany.
Any clarity on which regions are actually hiring blockchain devs right now? Skills that matter: I’m deep-diving into Solidity and Ethereum, but what else do global employers care about? Are certs (like Blockchain Council or AWS Blockchain) taken seriously, or is it all about hands-on projects? And is Rust/Golang a must-have now, or can I hold off?
Portfolio/networking: My GitHub is all Python—how do I rebuild it for blockchain without looking like I’m just chasing trends? Also, where do I find communities or recruiters for international gigs?
LinkedIn’s been a ghost town for me. If you’ve made a similar pivot or work in blockchain, I’d love to hear your story. Even a tiny tip or resource could save me weeks of Googling.
Seriously, thank you—this feels like a maze, but I’m determined to figure it out!
