Same story here. I work in games so it's always been boom or bust. It's real bad now.

- out of college it took 3 months to find work. It sucked, took over 100 apps, but I found a nice project.

- after that project ended, 3 more months (but less stressful because I had more than one role I was interviewing with).

- Then layoffs, another 3 months in 2022 where it was very competitive (I was in at least 4-5 interview pipelines before my first choice accepted my offer).

- Then that studio quickly shuttered and I haven't found anything full time in 2.5 years. Freelancing kept me up until that wasn't enough, and then I found some non-tech part time work.

working harder than ever with 2 jobs + more portfolio work to prepare for interviews despite having 9 years of experience now. This feels worse than the horror stories I'd hear when finding my first job.

Game dev acquaintances here in Belgium and back in Turkey say it's never been so bad. Studios aren't shutting down but also not hiring over here. Your industry is not having a good time…

I can hire you if you decent and don’t expect high salary [e-mail]
