I enjoy my job of a QA Tester for THQ. I recently got promoted to a permanent position after over a year on contractual work. It was supposed to last one year but it was extended by several months. I recently did an interview for Test Lead which would have me overseeing the QA Testers and doing more managerial tasks.
The people I work with for the most part are good and the atmosphere again is very relaxed. The schedule is steady though having overtime sucks from a life point of view but rocks when it comes to time and a half pay. I have put in nearly 80 hour work weeks for a couple of months before. Brutal but great pay. The games I have tested are nothing really special, NHRA, Juiced 2, Let's Ride Friends Forever and WALL-E. But again the people make up for it and it's really cool to see some of the design documents that the developers provide us. On the side I do animations for an independent MMO called Infernal Worlds. It sounds like we're gonna get picked up, at least some publishers are interested and so this could turn into a paying gig. It is designed that way based on a royalty plan so that would be awesome. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
