Current Events > would you work for Epic Games?

(+) Yeah! (+)

just wondering your thoughts. they seem to be a pretty divisive company in the gaming world.

idk what it is like in the "real world" for game development or regular software development for that matter, it seems stressful and like it'd suck the fun out of programming and design (I like game design better, but unfortunately I don't have much to show for that in my portfolio)

but yeah, I applied to work on Fortnite cus I don't believe in myself enough to make it as a solo game developer.

Most people arent privileged enough to make a decision where to work based on any factor apart from compensation and work culture

ok..?

plz respond I'm so un-confident that I need CE to answer.

If they pay enough, I guess so. Really, I personally never get into company social shenanigans, so most of that stuff would probably go clear past me. Most people ain't in a position to seriously decline a high profile job with a company that can easily launch a career, especially not the average GameFAQs user.

idk, anyone could apply. that's what i did. I just sent my resume like 20 min before making the topic. I doubt it will come of anything, but who knows?
I've prob applied at 100 large tech/software/game companies, most of which I'm completely unqualified for, but have gotten calls back to say "thanks but sorry we dont want u" (its usually email) from a handful and interviews from a couple (obv not hired) so maybe it's worth trying just because.
One of them was a very difficult interview and made me realize I have a lot to improve with stuff like programming and game structure/design, so it's like free school in a sense.
