As another ex-gamedev let me pile into this thread and concur with the parent. There's a very high chance that even if you break in you won't work on the game types that brought you there(I didn't) and pay/work life balance will be hell. If you really want to do it, side projects are the way to go. There's a ton of good engines out there and way more resources than when I was in the industry.
