SteveMeister said:Job: Game Programmer, Bethesda Softworks
How I got it: I worked for the parent company ZeniMax in R&D for a couple years, then transferred over to the game division when the company consolidated after the dot-bomb hit us.
How YOU can get it: It's all about what you've done. If you've never worked as a game developer before, the best way to get in is to write games your own, as I mentioned in the Computer Science Degree thread. You have to demonstrate the ability, dedication and passion to develop video games. Game companies get tons & tons of resume's and portfolios every day, and it can be extremely difficult to get noticed. You can apply for easy-to-get positions like QA, which gives you a chance to be known by the leads, but you'll have to work hard to prove that you'd be a good fit as a programmer, artist, or designer. Beyond that, who you know, being in the right place at the right time, and luck play big factors, too. I worked outside the game industry for 13 years before I got a game programming job.

I don't do a goddamn thing. Fully funded by my parents!

Tech support is a dead-end street. Especially if you work for an outsource company like I do. There's nowhere to go but management or out the door (and I don't wanna be a manager in this hell hole).
