Desperately looking for a new job. Hit me up

 

Got a pay rise, got a bonus, went out with my boy Kinky from amazon game studios - remember being in a club at 5am, then waking up at 2pm this afternoon with my iphone web browser on eurogamer.net homepage, an empty tub of vaseline next to my bed and an urgent need to wash my bedsheets. Guess I had a good night 

 

 

wat?

Ok, maybe not desperately...

Been offered a job at Ubisoft to work on The Division which is awesome, but the pay is less than what I'm currently on, it's a 6 month fixed contract, and I would have to relocate. So...hmm...not sure what to do. Very tough call to make!

 

During the recent period of uncertainty surrounding my job at Crytek I had to apply to a load of studios. I did the test for Reflections as well as the interviews and was eventually offered a 12 month contract. During the interview process though more information came to light about the potential split from Crytek to Dambuster Studios, and as a result I found myself in a position where I felt I didn't need the Ubi job as a backup anymore, as working things out here was my main priority if a possibility.

 

The reason I'm saying this is because when I replied to Ubi to decline their job offer, in the reply I mentioned (politely of course) that I was I was a little disappointed in the contract term offered - it would involve moving my life to Newcastle from Nottingham and also moving my girlfriend there, meaning she would have to change job, and in the end after 12 months I could end up having to move again. A few days later they replied and offered me a permanent contract instead. 

 

Now I'm not saying to decline the job offer based on this at all, as you are running the risk of them not coming back with a better offer. However, if you feel that you are in a position where you have a job that is perfectly good (Jagex?) that you wouldn't really mind staying at, and you aren't 100% sold on the terms of the Ubi position, then maybe it's worth a shot. You wouldn't even have to decline it, you could just write to them and express your concerns.

 

 

Hey Paul,

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

Yes, this at Reflections.

 

After thinking it over the weekend, this morning I sent an email declining their initial offer. Later on they called back and offered a higher salary but were not willing to change the role into a permanent position on the count of it being a junior role.

 

Still, I'm likely to turn down the new offer. Like you said, there's no guarantee that I'll be kept on after the contract ends, which would be a headache, and it will most likely be a death march, which is never fun.

 

As for my current job...eh...it isn't perfectly good. But then again - no job is. In fact, the whole reason I started applying elsewhere was to take on a role that's more challenging and more involving than what I currently do. Things have been very stagnant for a long time, which isn't great for motivation, and I really feel like I need a change but I don't this this would be the right move to make...

 

Ah well. Guess I'll have to keep looking.

You shouldn't be accepting a junior position with the CV you have, you made the right choice. Their loss

[Vilham]

Indeed, tell jagex to stop being pricks and make you a regular.

Yesterday was fucking scary. The baby got her first two shots and she didn't respond well to them. Eventually she went out cold and we had to rush to the doctor. Luckily, she came out of it a couple of hours later and everything is fine now. But that nearly gave me a heart attack.

Fuck that's scary. I'm glad the situation resolved for the best quickly.

Guess this sort of episodes are convincing lot of ppl to not vaccinate their babies(?).
