I hate to say it but it might be worth looking for a job outside the games industry. It's openly known that most gaming companies get away with terrible working conditions and employee treatment. They get away with it because there's a revolving door of people willing to put up with shit treatment so they can say they got a job in the industry.

It's fine if that matters to you, but you have to decide how much it matters and stick to your line in the sand. Personally I'd rather work something less interesting and have better pay and reasonable work/life balance.

Thank you for the caution but I'm very aware of what I'm getting into. I have a life goal and I'm ride or die on this one.
