I got a Producer job at Iron Galaxy

So you're going to be General Lang's protege? Just remember, no one escapes the Lang Zone, once you get out it pulls you back in.

Well done.

Congratulations on landing the gig!

Congrats duder.

Congrats duder, best of luck!

Still confused after reading this as to if it's a game Producer position or a video Producer position (like Vinny/Drew). But either way: congratulations, man! Working with Lang seems like it would be fun, and I'm sure he's cultivated a great environment at that studio. Keep on living the dream!

Get out quick man, I hear the owner of that company is some kind of asshole

You're in for the good life my friend.

Question 1: Were you asked to dive, kick or bat-tech in any interview?

(Congratulations, by the way. This is seriously awesome)

If you need any help on where NOT to live in Chicago I'll help ya out. Gotta be safe in the murder capital.

To put it really simply, I would coordinate productions.

Kidding.

I will mainly help handle logistics of some projects. Mainly lots of spreadsheets and maintaining/creating schedules and such. My desk is right across from Dave Lang, so maybe he'll just throw stuff at me when things go wrong? I can give a more detailed answer once I start working.

Game producing. I have education in video, but that's not my position.

Congratulations!

Once again, it's about who you know, not what you know.

Congratulations good sir.

That's really great! Congrats!

Keep us (the site) posted if possible :)

Congrats duder!

Just remember that Dave Lang can sense fear, much like a Tyrannosaurus Rex (N.B. may not be factually accurate).

>Admittedly has no experience

>Is offered job in Orlando

>Is offered different, better job in Chicago during interview for job in Orlando

Oh Steve, you lucky dog, you. Or unlucky, depending on how you view working with Dave Lang. And also the general being shot at thing.

You think the "Oh, we might have a job for you in Orlando" was a Lang-ian smokescreen to hide the fact that they had a spot for you in Chicago?

I saw when you broke the news on Twitter and I was jazzed. Any friend of GB/Whiskey is a friend of mine, and all that. Can't say I'm not sorta jealous, even though I'm older than you and probably even less qualified. I wasn't even aware one could hustle at PAX. And here I was just being all shy and awestruck with the people I talked to there!

I am jealous to the point of snapping a pencil in two.

Congrats Duder!

He's only hiring you to smear shit on the toilet walls. That's how these things start. Congratulations.

That's pretty goddamned awesome. Don't beat Lang at divekick, and try to set the schedule to make room for more super professional wednesdays!

Congratulations.

P.S. If you get roaches in your cock, get that looked at right away.

Good luck on the job. You have now officially entered into the Lang zone.

Grats man, that's super cool :)

@cooljammer00 PAX is all about hustlin'

Well, my dream job would be "Video Helper Guy at GBEast", but that doesn't seem to be a thing they need right now. And I guess I haven't really considered moving anywhere for work, so hustling for a job in a different city might be a waste of my time if I can't/won't move.. I live in NYC, and apparently it's fairly sparse in terms of larger budget gaming, according to this dude I met who works at Avalanche (he says anyone smart makes more money working at a bank), but that doesn't mean I don't have high hopes for the future. And yes, I've asked about internships at Kotaku, Polygon, Gameological, and the like.

Excellent work OP

Cool beans Steve! Hope to hear all about your first mocap sesh.

Really happy to hear you were able to find something. I'm a bit older than you (28), hold a Master's, and have had a nightmare of a time trying to break into the industry for the past few years. I've had a few interviews that haven't turned into jobs but am in the mix to become a community manager at a company nearby if things pan out.

I found the transition to my first full-time job to be a little difficult, took about three months to adjust, so feel free to message me for any advice.

Best of luck on the new job pal

Huh. Resumes are stupid.

Congrats on the job and good luck surviving inside of the Lang Zone!

Congrats duder ! Wanting to get in the bizz myself, to bad i life in Belgium.

Congratulations!

If it had been coding I would 100% disagree. What this tells me is that this game producing @epicsteve job landed is something that you can't study for and which Dave Lang seems to think he can develop in their new hiree.

So yeah, @epicsteve, congrats and also be prepared. I come from more traditional software development so I think you'll be in charge of meeting targets, resolving conflicts and keeping people motivated, probably also being a buffer between your company and partners/client. So yeah, there's probably enormous benefit you can bring them if you keep an open mind.

Umm, this is a two year old thread...

Edit: D'oh! Didn't see that this was a two year old thread. This seems like a pretty random thread to revive.

An employer that doens't care about resumes? That sounds like BS. Just kidding.

Resumes are highly overrated and they shouldn't really matter as much as some people want you to believe, but in my opinion they unfortunately do. I hope to met an employer that is cool enough to not just look at what's on a piece of paper. I suspect most employers don't dare to just talk and listen and make a judgement on that. Your job interview sounds like a dream interview. Not saying you are lying btw. This all sounds pretty cool.

Congrats duder!

You live in the Lang zone now! Good luck!
