That industry is brutal, I've also considered it because of my passion for gaming (went as far as studying computer science for 7 years and getting a degree in programming), but I keep seeing all these layoffs, studio closures, and ridiculous working hours stories and so on, it's really discouraging.

i worked in the game industry, in a AAA company. imho getting to know someone is too hard. the best chance you have is to showcase what you have done in your CV, anything related to the type of job you want to do... then if you manage to to be invited for a interview you can show in person or via skype why you are the right person.

Best of luck! I never had any plans about work, I just drifted along through school and then university and suddenly I've almost finished my third year in this job.

Hey everyone! There's no real point to this thread, it's mostly for me to vent. So if you're here just for the GA, skip on down to the bottom :) No judgement.
I'm currently working as a Business Developer in a very small project/program management consulting firm. That basically means my company makes sure other companies do the work they need to in the right amount of time and without spending too much money, and my job is to sell our services to other companies. The pay is good and the work is decent, but it's not what I want to do.
I really want to get into Game Design. It's been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and has always been greatly rewarding for me. I have worked on a few small games (mostly in college) and have taken away more and more from each experience, but I never considered it as a career for several reasons; the biggest one being I fear being judged. Coming from a family of lawyers, engineers, and doctors, I'd feel like they (and other people I know) would think of me as immature and unprofessional. I have always been the fun, childish one of the family, but that was always seen as good because it was part of my personality, not my work life. They have been very supportive of my decision to change careers, but I still feel like this is a mental block for me.
There are already a few companies I am zeroing in on, and I have applied to several jobs, so I am moving forward! Now the biggest hurtle I need to leap is finding a contact in the industry to talk to. I will do a much better job of selling myself in person than my resume can do when competing against a sea of applicants, and I likely have a lot more flexibility when it comes to type of work. So I'm looking for ways to build my network and hoping to finally find that one person that will be the key to landing a job.
That's it for my rant, so I hope I didn't bore you. Hopefully in a year I will have another update with a new job title! Here's your GA:
