Being a nerd came naturally at school and being an inbetweener wasn’t even a choice.

However, we now enter an age where being boring can pay big.

As the below jobs show, you don’t need to chase the next big fad or trend to make an amazing salary.

Audit is not sexy. Security is not sexy. But these jobs pay incredibly well in crypto.

No one grew up wanting to do double entry bookkeeping … until we knew how well it paid.

What’s the most boring job that pays the best? You decide.

^{Note: DCJ salaries are estimates - so the estimates on our website might be slightly incorrect. I’ve double checked the salaries for these jobs though, and they are correct!}

OKX are hiring Head of Audit, Financial Risk (Base = $200k to $300k)

Ripple are hiring for a Director, Developer Relations (Base = $228k to $275k)

Exodus54 are hiring for a Head of Product Security (Base = $230k to $310k)

Storm2 is hiring for a Web3 Lead Researcher (Base = $230k to $270k)

dydx is hiring for a Research Lead (Base = $220K to $270K USD)

These jobs guarantee a high base salary, after which you’ll need to negotiate your bonus and equity. These can be magnitudes higher than the base salary, so make sure to negotiate these as high as you can.

Never miss a dip again.
