I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.
Nice try fbi
Nice try interpol
We don't do that around here. Jpeg
Its a 2 person game studio with my buddy. you would have never heard of it because we haven't announced anything. We only started work a few months ago after a whole bunch of planning.
thanks!🤞
I'm genuinely curious to hear how you've found it easier to land clients than employers. In my experience, you really need a good in with a bigger firm if you're going to have any hope of launching a business. Unless your old employer is jettisoning their contracts as quickly as they jettison their staff, that can be tricky.
i'm not trying to land clients.
Traditionally, a business without clients is called a hobby.
this is where i block you because you're annoying.
Is it a cooperative one? Or are you on the road to becoming the next shitty owner?
look at my user name.
I once joined a company because literally everyone in the company had the same salary. i took a 30k loss of salary to join that project. I believed in the company though and its founders. it turned out to be the best place i ever worked.
Great! 🙂
