Do I need a university degree in IT?

Not required. In Web3, skills and portfolio matter more than degrees. I know many successful Web3 developers without a college degree who are entirely self-taught. However, if you have no programming background at all, a structured course (online or offline) is a worthwhile investment.

How good does my English need to be?

Fluent reading and writing in English is mandatory — you will read documentation, code comments, and write PR descriptions daily. Good spoken English (C1 or higher) is required for senior positions that involve extensive interviews and cross-border teamwork.

Should I learn Solidity or Rust first?

I recommend starting with Solidity. The Ethereum ecosystem and compatible blockchains (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism) make up 70% of the current Web3 market share. Solidity has more abundant resources and a larger community. Once you are proficient in Solidity, you can learn Rust to expand opportunities with Solana.

How much money do I need to start?

Core learning materials are free (CryptoZombies, Solidity by Example, YouTube channels). The actual costs are a good computer ($600–$1,200 if you don't have one), a stable internet connection, and some crypto for testnet mainnet deployments ($50–$200 for the entire year). Total investment is under $2,000 for 12 months of learning.

When should I start applying for jobs?

I recommend starting to apply from months 9-10 of the 12-month roadmap, after you have 3-5 projects on GitHub and some open-source contributions. The interview process takes 1-3 months, so this timing is ideal for receiving an offer when you complete the roadmap.
