Employment opportunities

The potentiality of the blockchain has a strong impact on the professional career of people in terms of employment or improvement of role/position in the current organization they work.
The starting point in this sense is an article published in 2018 by the Financial News, according to which a developer can easily earn 130 thousand dollars a year. The salary can then increase significantly in the case of the best-trained professionals since is the most sought figure by the companies, and that they can pay up to 600 thousand dollars per year.
It is worth to mention how the blockchain is invading sectors such as the automotive, fashion, large retailers and in general, all sectors where data certification can make the difference. We, therefore, need figures able to help companies to grow from the technical and economic perspectives. In this moment, the works connected to the blockchain are those that show the fastest growth, with 14
employments vacant for each developer. According to the statistics of Linkedin just in Italy, those people who have skills in this area can currently choose from more than 150 proposals.
This transformation impacts not only the private sector but also the public one, where the adoption of blockchain points out a positive trend.
Last but not least, the research community is investing a lot in the blockchain topic. Different research labs are working on a large set of issues raised by the blockchain technology. This trend provides novel opportunities for young researchers and companies.
