Well since you're a softwarae engineer I reckon jumping for internships would be really easy, just gotta actively look for companies that deal with crypto. Other options also include e-wallest that have integrated crypto wallets, a lot easier to join them than trying to join the big exchanges themselves.
Other than that it's really just you and some small projects really. I reckon there's also a lot of new crypto startups looking for devs though idk if any of them would last you a year due to, well, being a startup. Gl to you though OP.
Chance of getting jobs in blockchain and cryptocurrency is very huge nowadays because it is an emergening industry with many new companies launched with time. I'd like to note and warn OP to make sure checking about legality of Blockchain, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in his nation. I guess he already knew it but if he has not yet awared about it, this warning can help him.
