Key Insights

  • As of August 2022, more than 200 employers ranging from healthcare to manufacturing have active job postings on Braintrust's Web3-based talent marketplace.
  • Technical roles are the most sought after by employers; engineers and designers are the two most listed jobs on Braintrust.
  • DevOps offer the highest compensation on an hourly basis given the niche knowledge required to set up and maintain engineering infrastructure.
  • Currently, more than 90% of jobs with specified geographic preferences are limited to the United States and Canada.

A New Generation of Work and Talent Marketplaces

Millennials and Gen Z call it quiet quitting in the United States. Or Great Resignation across the West. Or lying flat in China. Separated by geography but similar in philosophy, this new generation of employees shares a different attitude toward work. Broadly, that attitude is defined by a refusal to partake in hustle culture, where holding full-time jobs isn’t required. Instead, the emphasis on purpose and work-life balance is higher. Shunning full-time roles for gig roles is an increasingly popular means of income.
