I couldn't hack it with that constant pressure. Or I should say I hacked it, but at great personal expense. It remains to be seen whether I'm a burnout or not. Unlike Lida, I will give some career advice (less experienced though I am): only work for companies with a proven high quality of life standard. The games industry is able to continue to wallow in its immaturity because of the constant influx of bushy-eyed and wide-tailed talent fighting to get in. They won't get better unless we force them to. If you can't find a suitable point of entry, then start your own company. You honestly couldn't do any worse management or process-wise than most of them do. Good post. I couldn’t hack it with that constant pressure. Or I should say I hacked it, but at great personal expense. It remains to be seen whether I’m a burnout or not.
