Hi there, I'm wondering, is there an option to get internal transfers or relocations at software engineering 3 levels at EA? I have a job offer from EA, and I was wondering if internal transfers are as common as bigger companies. For reference, I'm in a console game development team in British Columbia, and I was wondering if getting L1 funding to the States in the long run (5-6 years) would be possible if at all. #gaming #gamedev #ea #electronicarts
Yup, I've transferred teams twice within EA and moved countries once. Your manager needs to be fine with it and there needs to be an opening in the studio you want to transfer to, but it happens.
Thank you for your information! Can I DM you?

Not seen many people from Burnaby studio to transfer over to US
Thank you for the info. Did you work at EA before? What about transfers within Canada or shifting from in-person work to fully remote, is it more likely? Thanks
Should be pretty easy to get into another game dev position in another AAA once you have few years.
Internal transfers are a thing. Just pick a studio or team that has a presence elsewhere.
