The majority of job postings in games are for single roles: programmer, game designer, artist. Yet there are some people with talents in multiple areas. If you are in this situation, how do you find a job and build a career when you can do more than your job description allows?
This panel brings together four multitalented veteran developers who have each managed to build their career at a variety of mid-size and large studios, to tell their stories of how they were able to generalize in an industry of specialists.
Attendees will gain practical advice on the benefits of cultivating a skill set beyond a single discipline, and how to best bring those additional talents to bear in both a job search and on the job.
This is for professional and aspiring developers who either have skills in multiple content areas, or who are considering branching out; as well as people in hiring positions at companies who want to understand, attract, and retain such people.
