Good luck finding an entry-level crypto job this year, says Dragonfly
Proof of Search’s Kevin Gibson said the job market looks very different from 2021, when entry-level jobs were easier to land.
Securing a job in the crypto industry could be challenging for less-experienced candidates this year, with only one in 10 crypto roles at the entry level, according to a new survey from venture capital firm Dragonfly Capital.
Crypto recruitment executives say the trend may be linked to a surge in failed crypto projects in recent times.
“Crypto was hard to break into; less than 10% of roles were entry-level,” Dragonfly Capital said in a report published on Thursday, citing data collected from 85 crypto companies in late 2024 and Q1 2025, along with approximately 3,400 employee and candidate data points.
