If you want to launch a career in Web 3.0 and you don't know where to begin, start with this article.

Imagine you're back to the year, 2010, and a new social media app just launched. With this new app, you can post endless cute pictures of your dog, your kitchen and yourself. You also get to see cute dog pictures from over 11 million people globally. It turns out you really like taking your signature pictures and as time goes by, hundreds and thousands of people literally start to like it too :) But you have a full-time job so pictures of your dog, Pluto, and selfies of yourself before work won't pay the bills...…or would it?

Introduction

Reader, meet Instagram. As with many social apps that heralded the rise of the second iteration of the internet, Instagram allowed its users to create content that would be used to boost user interaction. But that's not all, it changed the concept of career and work moving forward into the future.

Apps like YouTube pioneered this change when it began compensating its users for creating on the platform. Many other social platforms in Web 2.0 followed suit and thus a new age was born.

Today, we have grown from the standard job roles and careers like banking, medicine, law and architecture. Web 1.0 created career opportunities such as Programmers, Computer Scientists and Web Developers. Web 2.0 ushered in careers like Influencers, Digital Marketing and Content Creators.

What career opportunities does Web 3.0 have in store for the future LinkedIn OGs? Let's find out.

Understanding Web 3.0 Companies

Before we go into the nitty gritty of what a Web 3.0 company is and how it works, let's get into what it's not.

What a Web 3.0 Company is NOT.

The biggest misconception about Web 3.0 companies is that it is exclusive to only computer scientists or anyone with a computer based background. This information is very untrue. The stereotype that people need to have a computer science degree to participate in Web 3.0 and that Web 3.0 companies require candidates to have a high level of specialization can be very scary for newbies.

Think of some of the popular tech companies we have today, Facebook for instance, do you think that the computer guys handle marketing, the company's social media and operations?

Exactly.

What is a Web 3.0 Company?

A decentralized organization that is owned by both its users and developers is a Web 3.0 company. Currently, Web 3.0 companies can still be accessed using the same browsers that we use today because Web 3.0 doesn't exist as a new browser yet. Many Web 3.0 companies serve as a point of access to the products in the Third Web like buying crypto or NFTs.

Top Web 3.0 Companies

Although you might have heard about a couple of these organizations, it's important you familiarize yourself with them because the first Web 3.0 job that would launch your career can come from any of these.

  1. Binance: This is a company that allows people to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrency.
  2. Opensea: An open Web 3.0 platform that allows people to explore and purchase NFTs.
