I wish you the best of luck with this. I work in computer graphics in the film/tv/video industry rather than games. I work with several people who are former game developers. They all got out because the work was horrible. They loved graphics and rendering, but couldn’t stand the work conditions. As one coworker said, “One day I went into the office and realized I was the only person over 35 working there. Everyone else had left because of the work conditions, and I realized it was time for me to go, too.” So just go in understanding the conditions.
Another coworker said that until you’re more established they give you the shittiest jobs. One person who did an internship over the summer while getting their master’s degree was tasked with getting the intro screen (where you select which game you want to play) working. It took them about 2 days, but because they weren’t a senior engineer, the company never gave them anything else to work on. They spent most of their internship (after trying and failing to get the company to give them other work) surfing the web.
