How do I become a blockchain/web3/crypto developer?

I'm a mid-level software dev with 2 years experience. At the start of my career I worked at a blockchain company, I never actually did any dev work that touched the blockchain aspect I just worked on the frontend. Though I got a load of exposure to the crypto world, especially when overhearing my boss in investor meetings. I came to discover the crypto industry is all a massive grift with no actual companies delivering anything of value other than the ability to participate in the speculative bubble of crypto trading. As much as I despise the crypto space, I am totally prepared to sell my soul for the absurd salaries devs are getting in crypto startups. There's a good chance that I'll wind up hating whatever job I get so I might as well aim for something high paying and I should be able to somewhat leverage my early experience in a crypto company.

What should I focus on learning? What's a good roadmap? How do I make myself look attractive to these high-paying crypto startups?
