I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.
Its a 2 person game studio with my buddy. you would have never heard of it because we haven't announced anything. We only started work a few months ago after a whole bunch of planning.
thanks!🤞
Nice try fbi
Nice try interpol
We don't do that around here. Jpeg
I'm genuinely curious to hear how you've found it easier to land clients than employers. In my experience, you really need a good in with a bigger firm if you're going to have any hope of launching a business. Unless your old employer is jettisoning their contracts as quickly as they jettison their staff, that can be tricky.
i'm not trying to land clients.
Traditionally, a business without clients is called a hobby.
this is where i block you because you're annoying.
Is it a cooperative one? Or are you on the road to becoming the next shitty owner?
look at my user name.
I once joined a company because literally everyone in the company had the same salary. i took a 30k loss of salary to join that project. I believed in the company though and its founders. it turned out to be the best place i ever worked.
Great! 🙂
