Hi all,

I'm looking for a career change as the job that i currently do is neither a passion or something that i really want to be doing for the rest of my life. I would ideally like to begin a career in the gaming industry as like most others i have a strong passion for gaming and all things related. I have been looking into a junior test analyst QA job and was wondering if this is the correct place to start. I'm a dedicated worker so don't mind working my way up and I love being hands on with things. I was wondering if anyone had any advice regarding this or how i can go about gaining experience in this field to give myself the best chance. I'm more than willing to do either weekend work or free work to get my foot in the door so if there is any advice or help anyone could give me that would be great. 

Thanks for reading,

Dan 

Do you have any programming experience? Even though I think it's not mandatory, I've heard that QA positions in general (I guess in gaming industry as well) have started to consider at least basic scripting programming a valuable skill. I guess probably Python is a good technology to learn.

Is your current job related at all with tech? What is your target position? I mean, what job would you like to get to after X years in the industry?

Regards!

Hi, 

unfortunately i don't really have any programming experience which i feel will be something that potentially holds me back. My current background is electrical engineering and ideally i'd love to make it up to game development level one day and have control over making something and producing games.

Thanks for the reply
