hello lovely guys and gals,

so i have just finished uni with a bachelor degree in computer science and intelligent systems. but i want to get into gaming. i have already made a game using unity (its called tune escapist and you can play it in kongregate) and i have made a cv. but of course since i have little experience in game development and software development in general, the offers are not pouring in. i have had only two interviews for paid game dev positions in a span of 2 weeks (one of them i screwed up and the other one is tomorrow) i have also got an interview for a job in R&D for computer vision and machine learning today. yes R&D!!! but of course game dev interests me more. so i was wondering would it be wise to take this job (if the interview goes well of course) or is it better for me to wait until i become employable for a game dev job? after all my skills (however limited) are in computer vision and machine learning and things like that. the language they use is C++ which, as far as i know, is the language used in all big game studios to write their engines. i would imagine that the skills learned would be directly transferable to game dev.

actually i just realised it's a recruitment agency, but still the question stands

thank you all. I turned the offer down and told the recruiter to let me know if he has any game programming jobs available :) I would rather get paid less and work in a gaming company.

well i just got an internship from a company in this small island nation called malta. I am super stoked and kind nervous at the same time since I dont know what to expect. after all it is 2000 miles away from where I currently live! (i live in london).
