THIS IS WHAT GAMES DEVS ARE LOOKING FOR IN A NEW JOB (AND IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK…)
Boss Lady
- Meet the team
We’ve just carried out a straw poll of games professionals on LinkedIn, asking them what the most important thing is that they look for when considering a new job role.
Over 400 took part – and, overwhelmingly, the key response was for flexible, hybrid or remote working, with just over half (50%) listing it as the most important consideration.
This was way ahead of ‘Salary’ at 30%. Meanwhile, the reputation of the studio, or the games it creates, was cited as the most important for 14% of respondents.
And the location of the studio, if the job didn’t offer flexible, remote or hybrid working conditions, was key for 6% of those who took the poll.
What is the most important thing for you when considering a new job role?
- Flexible, hybrid or remote working – 50%
- Salary – 30%
- Studio reputation/the games – 14%
- Location, if studio based – 6%
