I really love games, playing them, watching them on twitch, etc; but career in gaming? that's love and hate. I've had the good and the bad working in gaming (I guess this is true for all industries...)
Those fellow Blinders in gaming! what's your take on career in gaming?
For me.
Pro:
Fun people, office life (pingpong tourneys, creatives office events, etc)
working with passionate ppl (they ALL love games)
high marketing budget
quick turnaround/ result for mobile games (one can see whether the game is gonna make it or not pretty quickly)
Con:
Mostly male colleagues. (about 8:2 gender ratio in my experience)
Somewhat inappropriate work environment sometimes..
quick turnaround/result for mobile games --> layoffs... after layoffs...
no job security (layoffs after layoffs)
relatively low pay... well.. according to Blind hahaha
Im trying to decide to stay in gaming or not... TIA

For me gaming represents some of the best and most difficult problems that I could work on with great people who share my passion.
