What 's the average salary of a PM in gaming with 3-4 YOE. Is it easy to transfer from tech/software PM to gaming industry PM?
They just assign vague jira tasks and stuff
depends on what type of PM role you are looking for. We are currently looking at PM heavy UA, and some mobile in app dev experience. Some PM work directly with titles while others are working with core tech of org. If you are interested in new PM role I am happy to share some details.
Gaming in general pays less than tech, unless you get both. Eg games at Amazon, MSFT, FB etc. Game PMs handle in game economies, analytics and delivering revenue.
I wouldn't do it, the role of pm in games is generally a schedule monkey, it's not like a pm in amazon at all. The only real pm Ive ever met in games left after six months in disgust at how things were run. Definitely do research to understand the role.
