I was considering getting a job in the games industry, so I applied to a
bunch of places in the UK during my final year of university. When you
filtered out the jobs that were looking for years of industry
experience, then filtered out the jobs that expected you to work
terribly long hours, you got to the positions that said, "We'll get you
started as a tester."
I switched to web development, where I work roughly 9-5 for a good
salary, and I never looked back.
Pretty similar to me, although like Nick I never even tried to
interview. Now I write iPhone games as a hobby with no pressure to try
to make a living from it, and enjoy it quite a bit!
