Dude...I have a lot of friends who work there, so I totally know all about the urine. Apparently, there was a light post so corroded with urine that it collapsed and fell on a car; Totaling it.


Fuck SF. Been there before for a conference and it's dirty as shit. No thanks

To be honest guys, this job might be open in a month or two. I might consider taking it. If only for the free Unity license.

:troll:

But seriously, with my network I could probably have a 60% chance of getting this ob if I could do a good job of BS'ing. It probably pays shit tho.

What's worth more to you?

Financial Stability & Workplace Quality or Brofists? I've debated working at the EA office in my city just for a Developer Tag and the exclusive access I could leak for cheap brofist padding.
The Codex has already made me dead on the inside.

Yeah, Unity is the dream job for people who want to get rich. Yup, sure.

Not rich, but it's a decent wage for the Technical Accounting Manager position. Probably $120-140k, depending on experience. Of course, SF bay is ridiculous expensive, but it's not a bad wage for the cost of living. Besides, it probably has some cool perks since it's in the SF bay. I have some friends who audit pre-IPO companies and a ton of them are just flush with cash. Free breakfast and dinner and other cool perks.

At least for accountants, the company going down doesn't really reflect poorly on the work candidate. At least as long as it's not littering your resume. So if the company folds, you just move on to the next job. Probably a bit more high paying if you move up in position. Just make sure you leave before the whole damn thing goes down.

Stop being jealous, I'm still negotiating with SMA about that butt-pounding action you've been asking for since Jan 10, 2015.

Until then, you can simulate the action by using a new paid version of Unity and giving dollaridongos to Mr. R.

(Yes, Unity Pro users are slowly turning into anal slaves, I knew something wasn't right when they introduced that $75 Pro subscription plan.)

Yes, you are a fucking retard. Any of your 3k posts prove that.

If you want money as a programmer there's a million much better places to go than anything gaming related. If you want to larp being a software developer (you'll never be a real one) at a horrible shill company then choose junity.

It's a good place to visit and do contracts or better yet telecommute to but it's a shitty place to live and that isn't enough money to save anything there let alone buy a decent house.

Serious question Immortal ....how big of a leap would it be going from your current job (something to do with software from what I gather) to coding for games? Is it very different? Or is coding just coding?

It depends but in general - Very different.
Game Developers deal with a completely new set of problems that you don't normally see on a day to day basis working on Billing and Payment Systems or Web infrastructure.
IMO - you don't actually need be particularly bright for most sofware development jobs.

It does depend though:
Writing low level game engine code will reveal mathematical / algorithmic / physics and design problems that many developers will go their entire lives never being smart enough to solve.
However things like Unity and Unreal do wonders to offset dealing with those issues.. I think pretty much any layman can succeed in Unity.

EDIT:

Game Development is more difficult than rocket science - John Carmack

Of course John is referring to engine design and making efficient algorithms that accurately replicate physics.
Not making a pinball game in Unity.
