Berlin, Prague and Stockholm are all English speaking cities, with regards to moving there to work.
That, is actually a good point, and so I’m even willing to take that as a bit of crutch. I am also assuming I would not be needing to start with any real Mandarin or Japanese or Korean et al. skills either, as far as work is impacted. And that’s good, I would want the work to be somewhat independent of my inevitable struggle to learn the local tongue. Point is, going to a place outside the Anglosphere, even if many urban people will be able to function in English just fine, should start to introduce some definite lingual and cultural shifts and opportunities to expand and learn.
Can I immersively learn a new language just hanging out in certain parts of NYC? Maybe so. But at the end of the day for all its wonders, you’re all still in New England.
Spending time in Canada doesn’t really provide a kid from the US much of a different look at the world. A week in Czechia doing business really was something else. Sure I can get by in Prague 1 almost as if in Boston, but, do anything much outside there and it really seemed to help knowing some Czech.
Wherever you take this, add me as well.
Haven’t been on here in a while!
So! The tiny game studio that I work for is looking for someone to join our engineering team, preferably someone with a large amount of game development/Unity experience to help us ship our current title. We are close to release, but with one of our developers moving to Sweden (!!!), we need someone to wrap up the last few features and support the game through the Steam Early Access period (and hopefully work on the next project as well).
The salary is competitive, the team awesome; we are based in White Plains, NY, so I especially encourage anyone who is in the greater NYC area to apply. The director likes everyone in-house to foster team collaboration, but I’m sure if a candidate is qualified enough we could discuss working remotely.
Please apply to jobs@windygames.net with the subject line “Game Programmer Applicant: [YOUR NAME]”.

I wish I had enough experience to apply for that job. I’ve done enough in Unity to know basics, but not enough to jump into the end of a large project.
I think the writing is on the wall in my department - I may be on the lookout for a position in the Web Publishing/Web Content field in the northern Metro Boston area.
Is there any new hotness that I should be brushing up on nowadays?

Stuff like always gives me an itch to learn cobol. Maybe write some new systems at work in it, make it so they really can’t get rid of me!

Rym probably gets some kind of cash incentive if you get hired with his referral. Make him share it with you.
If you come work with me, it’s significantly less evil and I also get some kind of bonus (not sure what it is) that I promise to share with you.

I do not. The goal here specifically is to get a more diverse pool of applicants.
In that case, come work with me instead. It is a significantly smaller and less evil company. Also, I promise to share some/most of the hiring referral bonus, whatever it is.
