Web3 high salaries have become a new employment consensus in Hong Kong

Parents of HKU graduates often ask: what kind of job can a child earning 70,000 HKD per month in Hong Kong get? Honestly, a monthly salary of 60,000 to 70,000 for fresh graduates is a pipe dream in traditional industries. But the Web3 sector is different.

As Asia's financial hub, Hong Kong has attracted a large influx of capital into the Web3 and blockchain industries in recent years. Compared to traditional finance and tech companies, blockchain startups and Web3 platforms offer more competitive salaries for fresh graduates. This is not just hype but a market reality—young people who understand code, smart contracts, and are sensitive to crypto assets can indeed earn far more than their peers in the Web3 space.

Of course, high salaries also mean industry volatility, high work intensity, and a steep learning curve. But for young people eager to quickly gain experience and increase their income, Web3 undoubtedly opens up different career opportunities. This is also why more and more fresh graduates are starting to pay attention to job opportunities in blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, and other niche areas.

Monthly income of 70,000? That's funny. It depends on whether you truly understand smart contract code or just like to brag.

Monthly income of 70,000? How about that, you still need to play with smart contracts, and you have to write code until your hands tremble.

Monthly income of 70,000? I looked at the data, and this wave of Web3 salaries indeed exceeds the traditional financial industry by three standard deviations, but the volatility is also at a ceiling level(◍•ᴗ•◍) --- The first rule for surviving a bear market: the implicit risk factors behind high salaries are often underestimated by young people. Based on data from the past 18 months, the startup failure rate has reached 42.3%... hugs to all newcomers --- But on the other hand, this is indeed a rare DCA opportunity. Investing in your skills and experience is more valuable than anything else --- Hong Kong’s ability to attract funds is really strong this time, but the bear wants to ask—what is the average lifespan of these high-paying positions in months? The data will tell, everyone --- Steep learning curve? That means, fresh graduates who can't keep up will get beaten badly. The reality is so cruel() --- Those switching to Web3 are betting that this wave won't drop again, but based on historical backtests, the probability of salary cuts in the next bear market is... hmm, about 73.8%(´；ω；`) --- A monthly salary of 60,000 or 70,000 sounds very attractive, but from another perspective, it also means the boss’s expectations for you are directly maxed out

Wow, really? The monthly salary figure sounds tempting, but with such high volatility, who can guarantee not to lose everything?

Hong Kong Web3 salaries are indeed impressive, but the ones who truly make money are always those who entered early...

Monthly income of 70,000? Well, it depends on the market conditions. Have you seen the wave of layoffs during the bear market...

7,000 a month? Sounds good, but you still have to withstand the cycles of bull and bear markets.

Monthly income of 70,000? Listen to this, even seasoned veterans would laugh out loud. But on the other hand, Web3 has indeed become a place where money comes quickly and fools rush in over the past two years. --- The ceiling of traditional finance is dead, but blockchain is really willing to offer salaries to fresh graduates. It's just that the risk, haha. --- Quick accumulation? Haha, it's just a fancy way of saying quick losses. --- If understanding code and smart contracts can earn 70,000 a month, then why am I still here mining? --- Hong Kong Web3 is hot, but when will this wave recede? Where will these people go when that happens? --- Honestly, high salaries are indeed tempting, but who can withstand the industry fluctuations? Who knows if they'll survive until the next bull market. --- I just want to know if these high-paying jobs will disappear instantly when the bear market arrives. --- Looks good, but if I had to bet my life savings on Web3, I’d still be a bit hesitant.
