How to solve the problem of talent shortage in blockchain
Recently, a blockchain recruitment advertisement in Beijing has burst the circle of friends, requiring candidates to have in-depth research on blockchain technology and cryptography, and the annual salary given is not less than 5 million yuan, and there is no ceiling
Song Mofei told reporters that in the actual development process, it is far from enough to simply master the use of some blockchain tools. Because there are still many problems in the efficiency and scalability of blockchain, developers need to improve the underlying platform of blockchain to meet the needs of practical application. The blockchain technology is a typical composite comprehensive discipline, which integrates cryptography, computer network and game theory. It is not easy to master and understand the underlying technology of blockchain overnightaccording to Shan Yi, chief data officer of liepin.com, the core of blockchain is the change of social relations and business model based on Internet distributed trust system, which is characterized by decentralization“ There are still many uncertainties in the future development of block chain. There are obvious bubbles at present, and many block chain projects are not reliable. He said
the demand for talents in Internet / game / software instry is large
according to the data released by liepin.com, in 2019, the demand for talents in Internet / game / software instry accounts for more than 77%, far ahead of other instries, followed by the financial instry, accounting for 6.5%

Although driven by the influx of capital and talents, the blockchain instry ushered in rapid development, but as an emerging instry, the frequent warning of its security vulnerabilities caused people to worry about the risk of blockchain
Yu Kequn, director of the national information technology security research center, pointed out that the emergence of blockchain has brought people a lot of expectations for privacy exposure, data leakage, information tampering, network fraud and other issues. However, there are still many challenges in the security of blockchain
Li Bin, assistant director of China Information Security Evaluation Center, analyzed that the current blockchain is divided into three types: public chain, private chain and alliance chain. No matter which type, it faces security challenges in algorithm, protocol, use, time limit and system. What is particularly critical is that the current blockchain is still facing 51% attack problem, that is, nodes can successfully tamper and forge blockchain data by mastering more than 51% of the network examples
it is worth noting that in addition to external malicious attack risk, blockchain also faces the threat of its endogenous risk. Yu Kequn reminded that how to build a complete security application system around the equipment, data, application, encryption, authentication and authority of the application system of the whole blockchain is an important problem that all parties must face
Wu Jia also analyzed that as an emerging instry, employees in the blockchain instry are lack of safety awareness, which leads to the low safety factor of the software and hardware related to the blockchain and a large number of security loopholes. In addition, there are many ecological links in the whole blockchain. In contrast, the strength of the relevant security employees is scattered and it is difficult to form a joint force to solve the problem. A systematic solution is needed to meet the above challenges

generally speaking, blockchain companies need more technical talents, which is more concive to the development of the company. In addition, the long-term operation of the company is also a very important thing
from a small perspective, blockchain is still unfamiliar to the public, and more often, it needs more publicity and promotion.
What's the most expensive in the 21st century? It could be blockchain talent
Zhang Yan (pseudonym), who graated from a 211 university in Shanghai with a master's degree, began his internship in a blockchain company this summer, mainly responsible for the collection of instry information. During the internship, his salary is 8000 yuan, and after becoming a regular, his monthly salary will reach 22000 yuan
Zhang Yan's starting salary is much higher than that of fresh graates' first employment. According to the statistics of Shanghai human resources and Social Security Bureau, the average monthly salary of college graates with bachelor's degree is 4793 yuan, and that of graates with master's degree or above is 8001 yuan
according to the analysis of instry insiders, at present, there is a high shortage of talents in the instry, few talents meet the recruitment requirements, and the imbalance between supply and demand leads to a high premium of talents. It is expected that in two to three years, when the blockchain technology is applied and fully blossomed, the relationship between supply and demand in the market will enter a stable stage
how expensive are blockchain talents
"our recruitment has not been smooth. We may have 5-8 people in a quarter, which can only reach 20% of our expectation." Deng Xu, the founder of Yunxiang blockchain, has been hoping to rapidly expand the team to a team of 100 technicians, but he is struggling to find suitable talents
recruitment information of a company
"my ideal blockchain talents mainly have two standards, one is computer foundation, the other is algorithm foundation." Deng Xu said
according to Yan Li, founder of computing power think tank, there are three types of blockchain talents:
first, in terms of content research, most of these talents were originally engaged in financial information, traditional research and other jobs, and after one to two months of training, they can start their jobs
the second is proct technology development, which requires mature computer technology talents, such as research on underlying data development, data storage and so on. They need to redistribute their work areas in the blockchain scenario, and they can adapt to the post demand after two to three months
the third is the refiner of proct requirements, which is the most difficult person to find. They need to understand the business logic of blockchain, dig out pain points, and understand technology, so as to connect the customer's needs with the ability of technical developers
Shang Yang, an analyst of yiou think tank, also pointed out to Zhongxin Jingwei that the essence of blockchain is a distributed encrypted database, and the core idea is decentralization. Blockchain is evolved from bitcoin. Before, there were almost no relevant courses in Colleges and universities, so today's practitioners of blockchain technology are mostly self-taught. Objectively, all those with computer professional background have the conditions to learn. But technology is not the key, the key is to find the appropriate application scenarios. Only in a certain scenario, the data distributed storage can be irreplaceable and bring significant benefits to the enterprise, can it be regarded as a good application scenario, so the application on the chain is still in the exploration stage
"there are too few application-oriented talents," Shang Yang said. The application and transformation of any new technology needs a process. At present, many technicians do not understand procts
According to Deng Xu, there are three main reasons for the shortage of talents in blockchain: on the one hand, the popularity of blockchain is fast, while the number of technicians is small, resulting in the imbalance between supply and demand; On the other hand, blockchain is actually a comprehensive technology, including computer language, algorithm, communication, cryptography and so on. At present, talents trained by colleges and universities generally have only one or two aspects of knowledge reserve. In addition, with the popularity of ICO last year, a large number of new blockchain companies were born, further aggravating the imbalance between supply and demand of blockchainwith the fire of blockchain concept, some colleges and universities began to offer courses, and training institutions also entered the market one after another. Yan Li suggests that top universities with science and engineering majors can continue to give full play to their advantages and cultivate talents for blockchain technology application; In terms of business, it still mainly relies on talents from traditional instries; Social organizations, research centers and other institutions can organize vocational training for talents in the blockchain instry, but good vocational training must last two to three months instead of two or three days of "quick" training
However, Deng Xu pointed out that at this stage, training can only supplement some middle and low-end technical talents for the instry, but it can not solve the problem of high-end talents. Shang Yang also pointed out that universities with relevant courses are also facing the problem of retaining teachers“ On the one hand, it's easy to be poached by enterprises. On the other hand, most people who really understand technology and application choose to open their own companies or speculate in money. ""blockchain technology is the closest technology to money, so many people can't concentrate on technology, and the technology is very complex and boring." Deng Xu said
