Web3 Talent Gap: Experience Requirements Block New Hires

Bitget's Web3 Next-Gen Talent Intelligence Report found that over 54% of aspiring Web3 professionals struggle to land their first job due to prior experience requirements for junior positions. The study, conducted under Bitget's Blockchain4Youth initiative, surveyed early-career professionals across multiple regions and discovered a disconnect between learning and workforce participation.

The report highlights the increasing importance of emerging markets in shaping the future of the Web3 workforce, with Nigeria, Indonesia, and China accounting for nearly half of all respondents. Despite strong enthusiasm for the sector, respondents consistently identified practical industry exposure as a missing piece of career development.
