Always wanted to work for Riot. Attended a bunch of their engineering talks and found the work interesting. Got rejected for new grad a while ago after phone screen but have recruiters contact - was thinking about asking to interview again but I’ve been told to expect 150k for 2 yoe. Is Riot comp really this low? If not what is the TC expect one could expect? TC 190 - SDE II 2 yoe
Only join the Game industry if you really love it and don’t have a visa/stability/money issue, for several years. Been there, still love it, but chose to leave for a more balance life
I was in the process with them and when I told them I got the FB offer they strongly suggested I stop the process. So yes. At least they’re honest.
190 with 2 YOE? You ridiculously overpaid.
overpaid relative to you maybe, underpaid compared to rest of FNGDULA still 🤧
I make more than that. Still you are overpaid compared to the average software eng with 2 YOE. Be grateful for what you have/make, you never know when the bubble will pop.
Gaming industry is the most unstable industry, you never know what can happen like- the next game fails and the whole studio shutsdown, meanwhile some highschool student makes up a great game and replaces whole fucking Ubisoft in the market. This shit is possible. You never know. (Ubisoft is a bad example, but I hope you undertsood what I meant)
