Guy I know worked for a pretty big video game studio or two. (You've definitely heard of some games he worked on). Then he realized it sucked. Took a job in FinTech, made like double the money for half the work.
When I was leaving college a quarter of a century ago I briefly considered going into game dev...even back then everyone said it was low paid and gruelling work, so I passed.
It's shocking that people still go into it.
