“# Crypto job posts on LinkedIn rocketed 395% in 2021 <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t just a bull run for prices last year. Careers in crypto outstrip<\/a>ped price action in 2021, as crypto job searches soared by 395% in the United States alone according to LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the crypto industry outpaced the wider tech industry, which also saw remarkable development, almost doubling its number of job listings. However, at 98% growth, the tech industry dwindles in comparison to crypto jobs, which gained by a whopping 395%.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, no industry was safe from \u201ccrypto-ization\u201d in 2021. The LinkedIn News<\/a> post offered valuable insight into crypto influencing other industries: <\/p>\n

While most of the job postings were in software and finance, other industries are also seeing a rise in demand for crypto talent. These include professional services like accounting and consulting, as well as the staffing and computer hardware sectors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For 2022, the growth trend looks set to continue. The biggest exchanges in crypto are brimming with job posts; Coinbase has over 250 openings<\/a>, Kraken<\/a> over 300, and the world\u2019s most active exchange, Binance<\/a>, lists more than 600 job posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Bitcoiners and Bitcoin (BTC) Maxi\u2019s there\u2019s a new resource, Bitcoiner jobs<\/a>. A service dedicated to helping connect Bitcoiners with Bitcoin-only companies, it now offers almost 100 Satoshi-app<\/a>roved careers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those who are unable to switch jobs into crypto, a wider HR trend is crypto remuneration. The Mayors of New York<\/a> and Miami announced that they would take a portion of their pay in BTC in 2021, while a total of seven NFL players have chosen crypto over cash salaries to date.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, while the crypto career switch appears to be gaining traction, the LinkedIn audience is not convinced. Most comments on the LinkedIn post<\/a> were from bewildered onlookers wondering why crypto has value; and one aggrieved copywriter remonstrated the industry\u2019s scammy nature. <\/p>\n

Plus, given that Bitcoin price action has yet to impress in 2022, the crypto industry may struggle to sustain such high human resources growth levels. <\/p>\n

In the 2018 bear market, several cryptocurrency companies laid off staff. In sum, BTC activity needs to pick up to continue to support job creation. <\/p>\n
