I’ve been unemployed for nearly two years since graduating from uni and I’m just getting rejection after rejection from game companies. All the posts are looking for senior devs, team leads, or managers. I have friends who’ve given up on the industry entirely. Is there any hope? Or am I fighting a losing battle here…

Ask a Game Dev

Designers are probably the hardest to find something nearby, a UX designer position or maybe working in training/simulation software or casino games would be a decent fit. Create art assets, build gameplay systems, create game content, do stuff to level up and grow your skills.
