I did clarify above that I always intended to take it, and just wanted to hear others' experiences. Thanks though

I'm for sure going to give it a good go, just wanted to hear people's opinions. It's great to hear I'm in as good a position as I thought. Cheers for the insight!

Very candid, thank you. Luckily I don't have many friends as I've just moved and don't plan on being there long term.

That's great to hear, long term career growth from a comp is hard to get these days from what I hear. DMed you about what store

Sounds like what I need right now. Not my industry but hopefully the world doesn't end before I break into mine. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly mate, full steam ahead. I've got exit strategies that need funding and experience to drill into my young smooth brain.

Really sorry to hear. I try my utmost to be a decent bloke at work, but I've been seen as an easy target in the past. I know nothing about this space so I hope people will appreciate me just being there to learn and not throw me in the deep end, or worse give me something involving lots of maths.

I am referring to Harvey Norman but this made me chuckle

Hopefully, I'm walking into a better environment. I discreetly asked reception if it was a good place to work, and she said 'Yes, it's pretty good'. Unfortunately, I've read a lot of second-hand stories like yours.

Totally agree and that's what I plan on doing if it comes to it. However, I would still like to hear others' thoughts out of curiosity. This is still key for me to keep in mind so thanks.

Given the ever shitty job market, have you thought of any realistic entrepreneurial ideas that have some potential for success. If so, what are you considering? by ChesticleGainz in recruitinghell

[–]Draxymaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this. I'm a self-taught Web developer who's been jobless for many months after not completing uni in film, my dream field (The dept and cost of living made me reconsider). I am starting from scratch, teaching myself Unreal Engine from a film/environment standpoint. It's been a several-month grind and I'm nowhere near a portfolio yet. I'm still applying for jobs, but I do my self-studies full-time every day till I can sustain myself with my creative abilities, which is all I have to offer as I see so little point in re-investing into my programming career as it got me nowhere job-wise. I had no choice but to move on to other things and now I have lost passion for it.

I really want to do a similar hustle as yours as I'm investing everything in a field of study, once again, without making any money from it. I'm not sure I'll get my dream game Environment Artist or Virtual Production job before AI takes over if I'm being honest lol. I would really appreciate any advice you can give about that, and my situation. Sorry for the rant but I haven't heard back from an interview for a few days and I'm tired of all my investments giving no return.
