A few years ago I went deep into an effort to make my own 3D animation company, all in-house software and everything from the ground up as much as possible.

I wanted to make the next Pixar, went far with the idea. Built a lot of working prototypes for the software we'd use all by myself. I built something I was pleased with and sought for a seed round and everything. I certainly don't know everything but I know way more than my fair share in graphics programming.

That's stellar experience and even with that I can't find any relevant graphics opportunities. I keep knocking on Pixar's door and they never have any open roles for the things we're looking for, and they never bite when they're open.

I work at Adobe now. Even here I'm not touching graphics :)

I'd love to hear someone else's take, because all I can conclude is that it's a saturated industry, it's a primarily academic industry (I don't have a degree), or I'm outside the industry network.
