The current salary situation in Web3 positions is a bit heartbreaking. Recently, many people have been complaining that industry wages are indeed declining, with engineer positions mostly stuck in the 3500 to 5000 range, and even experienced professionals finding it hard to break through. Product managers are relatively better, with a range of 3000 to 9000, but this span reflects quite a significant difference—the pay gap between senior PMs and junior PMs is obvious.

From this data, it’s clear that the salary structure in the Web3 industry has indeed adjusted compared to before. On one hand, this reflects a rational return to the market; on the other hand, it also indicates that the industry’s demand for talent and valuation are being restructured. The engineer market is highly competitive, and positions with lower thresholds tend to have their wages suppressed easily. However, it must also be acknowledged that although salaries in the Web3 track may not be the highest, for practitioners who want to delve deeply into blockchain technology and participate in innovative projects, the opportunity cost can sometimes be more valuable than the salary itself.
