I wish to have advice from someone who works at bungie and read that the webmasters replies would take the dilly dally so i found this "If your specific question isn't here you can try asking our members on the forums"
So here i am asking like instructed I want to know how to work for bungie , i live in england and im quite young but i am determined i dont plan on going straight into it .. i wish to know what it is i must do to get there, only reply if you know how or something about it, Lastly if i've done anything wrong i'm sorry im still quite new to forums but i have read the rules.
Working for Bungie is fantastic. Getting there is fairly similar in process, I imagine, as getting any other job in the games industry save a few caveats on specifics.
1) Find your passion (Programming, Production, Design, Art, etc.)
2) Make that your life. Study it, breath it. All day, everyday.
3) Go to a 4 year Uni for your passion.
3.1) While in Uni. join clubs related to Games/Game Development. Do everything you can and be involved in everything about games. Immerse yourself in Games and Game Dev.
3.2) Build Games or Build your portfolio with specific work that can be applied to the game field.
4) Try to get an Internship or Job in the field. It doesn't have to be at Bungie first. Real world experience on top of a nice portfolio will help. Although a nice portfolio with lots of talent and skill could throw you right into an interview with Bungie.
5) Keep working at your dream until you are satisfied with where you end up. You may or may not end up working for Bungie, but if you end up in game development I think you'd be happy. Have dreams, but be realistic too.
As far as where do I go from now?
Google everything. Read everything. Never stop. With the wealth of information on the Internet today you'll have no problem entertaining yourself for years to come. If you're very young (not ready for Uni yet), focus on your schooling and building your talent and skill for Games Development. You'll get there.
