Your odds of finding a job in games | Amir Satvat’s Project Flagpole

The probability of any game industry applicant landing a job in the games industry is about 4% over a period of 12 months, according to a post by job resource aggregator Amir Satvat.

Satvat has helped more than 2,000 people find jobs in the game industry through his well-organized job resources on LinkedIn and his website. He’s a bit of a quant and has automated the scraping of new content from game industry job sites and aggregated the data in his job resources, making it easier for people to find the jobs that they’re looking for.
