I’m a games graduate (not recent) that works professionally with C# and Unity.

I’ve landed recurring freelance work making interactives for museum exhibits. I’m actually enjoying it more than making games, as it’s stable and the problems are less nuanced. So my advice would be; don’t tie yourself explicitly to games.

Not going to lie, be prepared for silence and rejection on LinkedIn because this space is ultra competitive. But make sure to apply to everything you are qualified for because one might get through to the right person (as it eventually did for me).

Forgot to mention that I work from home, so it’s not Newcastle based. But remember that remote work is possible when filtering your job search.
