Subject: Educational Career path to Bungie

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I really, really hope to work there after college. It's a bit of a leap of faith for me. Since, I discovered Halo back in the early 2k's, I fell in love. After moving to online play, I found their community, and the studio itself, amazing. I've always wanted to be a part of the atmosphere of working at Bungie, be it positive or negative (I've heard the horrors of crunch). I'm just about to start college, so I've still got plenty of time before I'll be ready to make the jump to Kirkland for a hopeful job, but I'm really leaning on this job. I mean, my degree (and as seen earlier in the thread, my "ability" and "personality") will get me a position at plenty of other places, but I have always loved this company and hope more than anything I can join the ranks once I complete my degree. We'll see.

does anyone have a solid plan they're following that they're pretty confident will land them a spot in the company?
1. Become friends with current employees and learn their deepest, darkest secrets.
2. Blackmail for position at Bungie.
3. ????
4. Profit!


While I won't follow FoMan's train, what I am doing is going through programming classes and learning as many languages as possible(COBOL, C++, C#, JavaScript, etc.) as it that has been a primary goal of mine for my Associate's Degree in AS.

But I am also doing this for the Co-Op and go to Activision, Valve, Id, or any studio who would take me so I can have rudimentary experience.

Then I will likely transfer to either CalTech, UW, or UT for my BS degree. I might get my Master's I don't know for sure yet. After that find a studio again: top three are Valve, BUNGiE, or Id.

After that I would either transfer to BUNGiE after I shipped some titles or enjoy my employment at BUNGiE if I applied after my education and pulled off a miracle by getting in.

DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags...yeah I was there. :)

7-7-11 was another awesome Bungie Day! Thanks Bungie for making halo so amazing over the last 10 years. Can't wait to see what your Destiny will be next. ;)

I have dreamed of working at Bungie since I was a senior in Highschool back in '02. Even after they moved on from Halo I still would rather work at Bungie than any other development company. Bungie's the reason I even went to college!

I got a Bachelors degree in Game Design, but we were only the second class to go through the course and things were setup terribly there. So I came out with nothing good to really show in my portfolio and no programs to work on the stuff at home.

Bungie is still my Dream job, and I hope to find a way to get there. Unfortunately I have family members that are in bad health right now and its hard to move across the country at this time. :(
