I have a friend who now works at Bungie. He worked at some smaller game studios and kept applying. His work continued to get better and eventually he got a job there. That process took some time. About 7-8 years total. The length of time it takes is more a personal thing. What is your life like? Do you have kids or any…
it doesnt necessarily take years but it might, just compare your work to a company you want to work at. If you cant achieve that right now then just keep going until you can. It all depends on the kind of work you want to do as well, for example maybe you have great painting and drawing skills and want to work on hand…
