Web3 Funding Sees Huge Drop As Big Rounds Dip

Investors are tightening their purse strings on everything right now — and that apparently even means the next iteration of the internet. For the last two years, venture capitalists have been enamored with all things Web3 — a hot buzzword that encompasses everything from crypto startups to blockchain developers to decentralized tech builders. However, after a record-breaking 2021 which saw more than $30 billion invested in this burgeoning space, investors seem to be taking a pause. Funding to VC-backed Web3 startups, as well as the number of deals, dropped to its lowest since the end of 2020, with the sector mirroring the venture market in general. The recently completed quarter only saw slightly more than $3.3 billion roll into startups in the space — nearly a 50% decrease from the previous quarter. That’s the lowest total since just about $1 billion went to startups in Q4 2020, and a far cry from the high of nearly $9.3 billion invested in Q4 last year.

Oracle won’t hire tech talent from New York, San Francisco: report

Oracle has told its hiring managers and recruiters to shun prospective employees living in coastal tech hubs New York, San Francisco and Seattle, according to a report. The cloud computing giant will instead opt to hire talent from American cities that have lower cost of living as well as Eastern European areas — a move aimed at cutting costs in the face of fierce economic headwinds faced by the technology sector. “Oracle doesn’t want to be in the upper echelon in terms of salaries,” an Oracle employee who works in the company’s human resources department told Insider news site. “They’re OK passing on the top candidates and going for the second-tier, more affordable candidates.” HR employees told Insider that Oracle has told its hiring managers to avoid candidates from “tier 1” (the San Francisco Bay Area) and “tier 2” (Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, DC). The average wage for a tech employee in the Bay Area is $175,909 per year — the highest in the nation. Seattle is second-highest with an average annual tech salary of $171,432. New York is third with $162,261.
