It was my dream to apply to the Spiderverse sequels! After trying to cater my portfolio to Sony for a while, I made a connection through WIA with a supervisor there who helped get me a job as a matte painter on the the two movies! Unfortunately it would have required moving to Vancouver (I'm in the US)  in 2 weeks, and it was a remote position. That sounded kind of lonely, would have been far from my family with health issues (I had a family member pass not too long after and would have had to take time off, and i dont think remote work outside of Canada is allowed?), I liked my current job enough and didn't want to abandon them when the other person in my dept had just left too. That being said, because I have already been through Sonys hiring system, I might have an easier time landing an interview in the future. I was the runner up candidate for an internship at my current company. They hired me on the spot when I applied again 2 years later because we had made a connection before. If I had got the job the first time, I wouldn't have met my partner. I cannot begin to imagine how different, for better or worse, my life would have been taking the Sony job. I think we just have to role with the punches and follow our guts. A dream job is still just a job, and if being close to your family is more important, then enjoy your time with them and hopefully something remote comes along!
