Before I became a software engineer, I met with an acquaintance at Google. Her first job was working on a big AAA title. While she expected it to be a dream job, it turned out to be the worst job she ever had. By the end of it, the crunch time was so intense that they worked 7 days a week for a full month before launch. Her advice to me? Stay as far away from games programming as possible. Any other programming job out there will pay you more money for doing less work.
