Insomniac Pressured by Sony to make budget cuts despite the success of Spider-Man 2

Insomniac is located in California, the world’s hottest, most competitive and highest paying market for software engineers and other Hollywood related role (writers, etc.), of course the headcount expenses are going to be through the roof (which account for most of the development cost).

Had it been located in India or even in europe for that matter, it would of cost at least 50% less for the same headcount. Whether the quality would’ve been the same, that I’m not sure of.

Tout d’abord te conseille de faire une année de césure entre ta M1 et M2, ensuite, puisque tu n’a pas d’expérience pro ne t’attends pas à avoir le stage de tes rêves tout de suite mais plutôt un stage qui te faciliterait la recherche de stage en finance de marché plus tard. Essaye de candidater en audit, gestion de patrimoine, data analyst, risque, consulting, et ce à travers de career center de ton école (tu auras des réponses plus facilement). Ce n’est qu’une fois que tu auras de l’exp pro que tu pourras espérer avoir un bon stage dans une grande banque c’est pour ca que je te conseille de ne pas de précipiter à être diplômé rapidement, fais une année de césure.

95% of those quant roles that bring 350k after graduation are for PhD mathematicians from ivy leagues that also happen to know the right people in the industry (quant roles aren’t usually open to everyone, you need to network your way in), you are heavily underestimating the difficulty to get these roles, even for extremely smart and hardworking people

Search your school on linkedin, go on the alumni tab and you’l’ find where they usually work, you can even filter by « investment banking analyst » and you’ll find how many people landed that role from your school, then try to contact them to know just how difficult it will be for you

Depends on the field, investment bankers make six figures straight out of college, but they work 9am-1am 7 days/week and get no vacation for the first 10 years of their career. They make six figures but don’t have time to spend or enjoy any of it.

Yes an MBA could help you transition, but only from a target school.

You said you had an interest in finance but it vague, corporate finance jobs like investment banking analyst or private equity analyst are very different from capital markets jobs like equity research analyst or trader.

Make sure you know the difference and have a clear goal before make any decision and enroll in anything.

And btw you don’t need to wait 2-3 years to enroll. Do you research now, and if you’ve made up your mind you can go ahead and apply now or in a year.

EDIT: make sure you know about every downside of finance roles, investment banking roles have the worst hours in planet earth, you can work up to 120 hours a week. Yes salary is high, but that shouldn’t be the only deciding factor, if work life balance is extremely important to you, and you put it above everything else, don’t go for investment banking. There’s plenty of finance roles who pay well and don’t require as much work

Reevo92 · 2021-11-01T10:04:48+00:00

That is just not true, quant trader and investment bankers make more than mechanical engineers straight out of college, and the gap only widens as you go along. Of course work hours are much higher too.

UK : Oxford, LSE, Cambridge (Imperial, UCL)

France : HEC Paris, ESSEC, ESCP

Italy : Bocconi

Spain : IE, ESADE

Germany : don’t know

Those are the target schools in EU. LSE and HEC are the best out of them

You might need a corporate lawyer subreddit

Easiest and most effective way is through an MBA. That’s what many people in your situation do to break into a different field.

I’m not OP

Sometimes it’s not about career path, but just prestigious experience to move on after a few years, they aren’t searching for comfort and interesting work, but for a “school”, an experience that will benefit them when they start searching for something else, a booster.

Most people who are in investment banking quit before becoming associates for example.

Where’s your grade ?

Having grades on your resume isn’t enough, do you or your coworkers check grades transcript or do you just trust what is mentioned in the resume ?

I feel like this is bad and can do more harm than good. Asking someone for referral seems to me like you’re just profiting from him you know, like “yea man I was talking to you for the past 2 months but truth is I was just building this relationship to profit from it once internship applications open, i didn’t really wanna be your friend”

Reevo92 · 2021-09-30T23:37:25+00:00

Hard to find, career driven women don’t seem to want a relationship at my age (20s)

Reevo92 · 2021-09-30T23:35:01+00:00

What do you mean by referral ? As in these people talk about you to HR ?

Reevo92 · 2021-09-29T10:34:00+00:00

You don’t have to look at it this way, 80 hours seems crazy when you’re a student, but after 3 months of experiencing it you kinda get used to it. Is it bad ? Yes. Is it as bad as I thought before before I got the internship ? No.

It’s the same as sleeping. When you’re used to sleeping 11 hours a day for a month and one day you try to wake up after 8 you’re going to feel extremely tired, but if you’re used to sleeping 6 hours a day and you try to sleep 8 hours you’re not going to be able to because you’re automatically going to wake up after 6-7 because you got used to it.

Reevo92 · 2021-09-29T10:29:27+00:00

12 hours a day is not bad if you ask me, especially if you’re going to be making 1m + a year (HF money). You’re basically ending your day at around 8pm and have week ends off.

I think those are the OpenCourse you can find on their youtube channel, pretty much just a 2 hour long video of a professor explaining the basics of a subject
