A note on this data. Salary and listing figures are sourced directly from web3.career's own published pages and are shown as context, not a promise — actual offers vary by experience, location and employer, and no institute can guarantee a specific job or package. web3.career doesn't publish a distinct listings tag for every specialization above, so a few pathways are linked to the closest matching real category (e.g. Distributed Systems Architect and Staff/Principal Protocol Engineer both route to their general Blockchain Engineering listings) rather than a guessed URL.
