For those looking to break into game production, here's some advice I've given to a few people recently. Take stock of your current situation. Note things like... - Your industry - Your seniority level - Your experience with games - Your past companies' reputations - Your job - Your location - Your openness to various types of work (on-site/hybrid/remote) Now, think about a role you'd be excited to move to. Take note of the same things. So... - What level of seniority would you accept? (Entry? Director? Mid?) - What do you want your title to be? (producer, artist, designer, etc.) - What sort of game dev would you accept? (indie? AAA? etc.) - Where would you be willing to work? - How would you be willing to work? (on-site/etc.) Once you've got this info, you have an idea of how many shifts you need to make. Two scenarios: 1) You're an engineering manager happily in LA working on mobile games from home, and you're fine taking an associate level production role anywhere in the games industry, hoping to stay in LA and happy to go into the office. This isn't that challenging! 2) You're an entry-level customer service rep in retail working from home, hoping to be remote in Trondheim and without any game dev experience, aiming for a AAA senior game production role that you'd like to be remote and without strange hours. You've got a LOT of shifts, many of them in a hard direction. (I made this case a extreme intentionally) In either case, what you can do is put these two things next to each other and think about the job and career shifts you are going to make. In scenario A, you've really got one big hurdle to overcome: the title shift from engineering manager to producer. This is a viable shift, it's been done, and you might even be able to do it at your company. Nice! In scenario B, it seems impossible, but stop viewing it as a one step move. Instead, recognize that you can start making these shifts one at a time. Here's an example sequence: 1. First you find a QA job in the tech industry to get closer to games. Now you're QA in tech. 2. You sacrifice on the location and remote goal and move to become a mid-level QA in casino gaming. 3. Next you become a lead QA at the same company. 4. Then you become an associate producer at a different company in mobile gaming. 5. Afterward, you become a mid and eventually a senior over the next few years, leveraging your experience with customers and QA. 6. Here's an annoying reality! You take a title hit to move into AAA as a mid-level producer. You grow that to senior in a couple more years. 7. Finally, rather than taking an EP role, you get a role working as a senior producer from Trondheim supporting a Europe-based team. You've made it. Don't try to do it all at once, take it a bit at a time, and be patient. #gameproduction #gameindustry #gamedevelopment #careeradvancement
