Not all games jobs are like this. I entered the games industry just as I was turning 30 and it has been rewarding both in terms of type of work and compensation. Maybe I'm not typical but I also don't think people should write off a whole industry based off of anecdotes.
Really I'd just generalize your advice and say that any job where you're not invested in the product, have unfavorable hours and aren't paid well is uncool and should be avoided.
- mrep 9y agoAgreed. I'm not a game developer but looking in, it seems to resemble the tech industry. You have the AAA studios which are like the FANG companies in that they have relatively stable well paying jobs and then there are a bunch of indie studios which are like startups.
