- imdsm 1mo agoAgreed. I have had my tenure as a World of Warcraft guild & raid leader from many years ago on my resume for many, many years. It has always been a conversation point but managing 100+ people, who you don't pay, to prepare & train for complex, time sensitive operations including 25-50 people all working together, and all the management that comes with that, from DKP to class leaders, and so on. "Just think what I can do with paid people!" I've never hidden my interest & passions, and I think the world is a better place when people are proud of what they enjoy. We're people first, after all.
