"If you've got what it takes already then their shouldn't be any reason to settle for less." In my experience this is so far from the actual truth. And I hear people say stuff like this all the time, If you do good work and have a good portfolio that's all that matters, but the truth is that is not all that matters. Most if not all job postings want you to have x number of years experience WORKING in the game industry, many say you need to have release x number of AAA titles. There are many other requirements that are very much related to actual working experience in the game industry. I have extensive experience in product visualization. And I use 90% of the same pipelines and process as someone in the game industry. Yet I have been rejected time and time again where the reason given to me for rejection is that my experience does not align with the job requirements. Now I understand that I'm not going to get a lead character artist position, my skills just aren't there yet. And I'm not going to get a position modeling or texturing stylized assets because all of my experience and work are with realism. I can objectively evaluate my own work, and I know where I excel and where I need to working on things. I'm self taught, and I wouldn't be able to progress if that weren't the case. On top of that I can handle learning new pipelines and process very quickly. So when I hear statements that basically say if your work is good then you should have no problem getting a job equal to your skill level in the game industry well that doesn't jive with what I have experienced as a 3D Artist. Here's my portfolio, in case you think I'm full of myself. JoshMcCann.Art

If you don't have work experience yet, you can instead write a "Projects" section that lists your game projects and other software projects. It's okay to do that, game companies don't expect you to have professional experience when you just graduated.

As a programmer in a NON-game-dev job, I once had a crunch time session where I had to stay over, and I thought to ask for overtime. They looked at me kinda funny, then gave me a sheet to request overtime and explained: Basically, as developers, it's a little unusual to ask for overtime, because those particular crunch times are expected. That is, it was deployment of a big update, and naturally, it's something to monitor and make sure it goes right, and squash any bugs asap. They were respectful enough to still let me request overtime though, and I actually DID get it, but, I was basically influenced to never ask again. ... Now, in that place, it doesn't happen OFTEN. If it did, I would absolutely request overtime pay again.

In the U.S., there are 2 ways a company can classify an employee - either "exempt" or "non-exempt". The company doesn't get to choose the classification, there are rules defined by the government based on what kind of work is being done. If an employee is classified as exempt, then they do not qualify for overtime pay. That might sound harsh, but usually in order to be qualified as exempt, it's already a highly-paid job, so a little overtime now and then is usually acceptable. If there gets to be too much overtime, and too often, then it can lead to burnout and the employee may quit the job and move to a different company with a better work/life balance.

Great overview. As a game design student I completely agree with this. If you know you want to be a game designer and can afford collage then go for it but know it's not the only path. Many of the professors I had went to school for sichology or computer science before they became designers. The lead designer of sonys spiderman was a writer before he started in games.
