Having doubts about taking a first job landing

illumisanic · 1:20AM

Hello everyone, I'm in a dilema. There's a contract job offering in game industry with wich I was contacted that pays very below my country's minimum wage (my country's minimum is 250 dollars at the time) if you work 8 daily hours, in rig and animation. The company in question looks like it's going to fall apart at any moment.

I've never had the chance to land my first job, but the job doesn't offer new knowledge (they sent me the documentation beforehand and it's not a big deal) and I could never post what I would do in my portfolio.

I'm in conflict between using my time for doing something better for my portfolio or taking it for having it in my resume and say that "I have industry experience"

you should delete their email and block them. That ain't an opportunity nor a foot in the door. That's literally modern day slavery bro. Make more art, post more art, get actual, real opportunities

I'm not gonna lie it is very enslaving, but still I'm finding hard to find a job, so it looks tempting.

I guess I have to redo and focus my portfolio in something specific and then be back to sending resumes
