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!

Focus on regions like the United States, Singapore, Switzerland, and Dubai for blockchain developer jobs. These locations lead in demand for blockchain talent. Use your Python experience to learn tools like Web3.py and Brownie.

Earn certifications like Certified Blockchain Developer (CBD) or complete courses from ConsenSys Academy. Build a portfolio with DApps and contribute to open-source projects on GitHub. These steps show your skills and help recruiters identify you.

Join communities like artofblockchain.club and LinkedIn groups. Attend blockchain events such as ETHGlobal to connect with hiring managers and industry experts. Let me know if you need additional resources!

If you’re a Python developer aiming to transition into blockchain and explore global opportunities, focus on regions with high blockchain demand like the USA, Germany, and Singapore. Build your profile by working on Python-integrated blockchain projects, such as DeFi applications or supply chain solutions, to showcase practical skills.

Create a strong portfolio by documenting projects with detailed case studies. Even small-scale or self-initiated projects can highlight your problem-solving abilities. Use LinkedIn to build your personal brand—share posts about your blockchain learning journey, project insights, and industry trends to engage with professionals.

Join blockchain-focused communities on Slack, Discord, and local meetups to connect with others in the field. Networking plays a key role in finding international opportunities, so actively participate in forums and discussions.
