I'm pretty happy with my current job, but when I get my fully chartered accountancy qualification, I would love to work in the gaming industry.

I've been doing a bit of digging, and I can't find anything that remotely related to finance jobs in the gaming industry. Its all coding/artist/pr stuff. How do you get a finance job in the gaming industry? And would it be hard to get one in the UK specifically?

A lot of software companies, unless they are huge (nad this boring), contract out that sort of stuff....those accountants don't even sit in the building. So, not many prospects unless you dig, so you just have to look on websites for job openings.

Have you thought about being a lion tamer?

Ah, thats a bit of a bummer. Might be a bit tricky with there not being many big uk gaming companies.
