I have a career dilemma to solve and I hope to get some advice and helpful comments about my situation. First of all, I should say that I am really lucky since my problem is to choose between two really good options.
I am currently doing an internship in order to graduate a 5-year degree in Engineering in France. I did not really search for a job after my internship, but few headhunters came to me with different job offers, probably because I posted my resume to several website when I was looking for an internship.
After different interviews and so on... I came up with different definitive job offers. I already refused some of them since I was not interested in (a position as Junior 2D programmer at Gameloft Seoul with a really poor wage ...). I have now to choose between two options :
- A position as project coordinator at LG in Seoul for the car business department. Globally, my job would be to manage the relation between the team of R&D engineer and French car manufacturer. Really nice and interesting with a fairly decent salary. But nothing to do with the game industry.
- A position as project coordinator at Ubisoft in Sweden on a very exciting project. (I am sorry I cannot say which one ...).
I want to work in the game industry, but I would like to work in the management, not as programmer, because I do not think that I want to do programming during all the day for several years, it turns out that it just a kind of hobby for me.
For personal reason, although I am probably missing a good opportunity, I would prefer to go to work in Seoul for LG. But later, I would like to move to the game industry. So my question is: do you think it is difficult to break into the game industry after previous experience in unrelated fields?
Thank you,
PS: Feel free to say anything else about this choice and what you would do in such of situation, I am sure that could be helpful for me.
