Is on-chain data analysis a good career path? (alien.top)

I’ve got a great understanding of crypto and have been making educational videos about crypto since 2018, it's led me to get some social media jobs, content creator and community manager roles. But this is becoming super saturated and companies end up hiring someone from the Phillipines for 20% of the salary.
I’m looking to get into a the fraud and on chain data side of things - considering taking some Chainalysis certificated or breadcrumbs. Or even the on-chain data analysis side, like with Dune.

Does anyone work in the space and can give insights to this?

you could extrapolate this to dev in general with AI

if youre not already senior its going to be tough

source, been a dev 15 years+ i get chatgpt to do 30-90% of my work dependent on what im doing e.g. i never write a mongo query manually anymore.

AI as it stands, is weeding out juniors as it makes my job more productive, i know how to guide it, a junior dev with min experience does not. i dont say that with any arrogance, my days are probably numbered as it is

chatgpt can probably do chain analysis better than you could / write the code to do it

Regarding development, junior devs still need training and experience, whether AI is enhancing the work or not. It's very short sighted if companies want to rule out investing in training juniors and this will eventually come back to bite the tech industry in the ass when companies realize there aren't enough senior devs to just dump the entire workload on.

With chain analysis, AI will definitely perform this better than a human, but you still need a human to direct the AI.

AI is an assistant.

Real software has much more complexity than ChatGPT is capable of and requires humans to write still.
