I moved states a few years ago for a big company and didn't get diddly (and yes I did ask and was told it wasn't offered at all)

Lieutenant Dan posted:Hey thread, I'm wondering if y'all have any suggestions for "backup careers". I'm in my early 30's, and 100% of my job experience since 2009 has been in entertainment (game dev, comics, PA stuff on set, lifestyle brand editor, etc etc). Almost all of my friends in game dev, animation, and comics are scrambling for work right now, and I'm in a real lovely spot, so I was wondering: Does every game that is pitched get funded, just with different amounts? As you more, you are certainly at an advantage when it comes to pitching and experience Is this project your final year? It's certainly an interesting option it if directly aligns with what you want to do

By funded, do you get a salary? Or is it all the other costs of the game? Personally I'm a big believer in doing things that directly align with what you want to do. The further away you get from those things, it can be hard to get back into them If this game was successful, you could always ahem defer again?

Perhaps working in a museum or not-for-profit

All of the contract roles I've seen advertised recently have paid, essentially, the same hourly wage I am on - but without the benefit of annual or sick leave, all casual! It's an obscenity cos I'd actually be happy to consider contract work but financially there seems to be no benefit
