Shoutout to this dog
you wanna learn to be cynical and jaded like me? well you can too with these easy simple steps
Rejected by games company I applied to...got a job offer from another company BUT they may be taken over by Rupert Murdoch. #fml
author=GreatRedSpirit
That's unfortunate. Keep looking, applying, and building your portfolio and hopefully the next chance will work out better! (and hopefully ol' shitstain Murdoch doesn't buy out wherever you're working in the meantime)
Yeah...I mean it's still not confirmed that he's definitely gonna take-over (the deal has to get past UK regulators first), but tbh I'm not too sure about the company anyway. I think they're low-balling me with their offer and I didn't really like the manager who interviewed me.

Becoming popular enough that I'm able to sell out to a megacorporation is my life's dream.
I've already sold out to a megacorp. I've been working for said megacorp for the best part of three years. It's okay. Good points and bad points. The project I'm working on right now is a steaming pile of shit though, which is why I'm looking to move.
Third UK-based terrorist attack in the UK in four months, second in London. At this point I'm seriously considering going outside less

Yes I know "Don't let the terrorists win" and all that but it matters little who wins and who loses if you're dead
Just applied for a programmer role at a games company outside of London! Quarter-life crisis in full effect

author=NeverSilentThanks NS! I think it's time to have some change in my life, so I'm just going for it full-speed ahead. #noregrets
Good luck, Yellow! Don't let it break your calm, I'm sure you're more than capable of handling the change should it come.
author=kentonaIf there are any gamedev companies feel free to refer me...........
Regina, Saskatchewan is outside of London!
author=Cap_HYeah, Midlands are much more affordable than London - however as a result, the salaries are lower too. By going from working in a bank in London to a gamedev company in Midlands, I'd almost certainly be taking a pay cut - but I'm at a point in my life where (as privileged as it sounds) I don't give a crap.
Good luck. Midlands should have affordable housing too.
I have a Skype interview with the CTO next week...fingers crossed...
