Luckily, there are lots of people who have done it and are passionate about helping others do the same.</p>
<p>A number of those people took the stage at the Career Seminar during GDC 2017 to offer would-be game devs — especially women — some advice gleaned from their own experiences entering the game industry and working at companies like Hangar 13 (<em>Mafia III</em>), Microsoft/343 Industries (<em>Halo 5</em>) and more.</p>
<p>It was a great set of microtalks, packed with advice meant to help anyone who has felt marginalized, pushed aside, or lacking in confidence.</p>
<p>It’s well worth watching, as you’ll probably walk away with practical tips and tricks you can use on your path to a meaningful career in game development. Now, you can do so completely free <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytHpANp9EDE">via the official GDC Vault YouTube channel</a>!</p>
