Confessions of an Unreal Engine 4 Engineering Firefighter (2018)
Since I don&#x27;t often see UE4 related posts on the HN front page but love the technical community here, gonna go ahead and take the opportunity to ask what people in the industry think about current job opportunities for entry level folks transitioning from web development work.<p>I know the old story about conditions being worse and avoiding turning your passion into your job&#x2F;hell, but anyone able to chime in?<p>I&#x27;m working on a VR game as a learning experience and using UE4 with the hope that as AR&#x2F;VR grows more popular over the next decade I&#x27;ll have set myself up for moving to the field, but I don&#x27;t know how early I might be able to make that move or how quickly opportunities are growing. A few years ago my hope was that by now VR would have grown to the point that some of the digital agencies here in NY would have work doing branded VR experiences or some type of VR work for non-gaming related VR uses &#x2F; for non-technology companies. But I haven&#x27;t necessarily seen VR roles popping up at agencies &#x2F; marketing firms.<p>Anyone with any insight on VR or UE4 job market general trends?
