Most developers move in from a general backend or full-stack background, picking up Solidity and a testnet portfolio (often via hackathons like ETHIndia) before landing their first blockchain-specific role at a startup or BFSI innovation lab.
Certifications are less important than a visible track record of audited or deployed contracts; recruiters at Web3 startups and BFSI labs weigh GitHub history and hackathon results more heavily than credentials.
