Would you prefer working at a bigger company like Blizzard or EA or would you prefer a smaller gaming studio like naughty dog?
A big company will teach you processes. A smaller, more entrepreneurial company will teach you vision. You’ll have more stability at a big company but if you find a successful and visionary entrepreneur, I smaller one can be more rewarding.
I've done both types, they both generally suck, really depends on your motivating factors (money, stability etc) but generally the best option is to get out of games if you care about anything other than making game.
neither. get out of gaming industry and build games in your spare time if you want.

BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
I came from a small gaming company. Trust me, don’t do that. Even big game companies aren’t that much better. Get out of the shit hole of a game industry if you can. My tc more than doubled after getting out and work feels much more fulfilling.
