--- Quote from: RedGajin on September 04, 2017, 09:08:16 AM ---@anyone, are there not a lot of entry level positions for graduates with game design/development degrees? do large companies not offer internships that provide trainings or certifications to people that are new to the field? i also see a lot of indie games looking to hire, are these generally not entry level or require a lot of experience? im curious if you guys are just talking about starting a solo/team dev project or the field as a whole --- End quote --- Go to local game jams if you live in a big enough city. They not only give you a motive to expand your portfolio, but also sometimes get recruited at the events themselves. And I don't mean some stuff indie team looking to get someone to carry their idea all the way to the big steam bucks store. I mean AAA development studios. It also helps to live in certain states/provinces. There's more studios in areas that offer bigger tax refunds to business owners who employ developers. I think it's something like 40% in Ontario. Typically 10% in Canada. There's a few states that are good for this too but I forget which. |
