Subject: From Community Member to Employee

Luceat lux vestra

It is obvious that members of the seventh column can get to a place of prestige such as the Ninjas, but no member can gain the power of a Bungie employee without...well...becoming a Bungie employee. On that note it got me thinking.
How many community members have followed their passion for games, gained a profession in the industry and with the proper amount of experience points, applied and got offered a place at Bungie Studios?
How many of you (the current community members) are training/planning to train yourselves in the gaming industry? After a couple years will you apply to Bungie?
What profession are you/would you be filling?

This is not aimed just at the people training. Anyone who dreams or thinks about it.....What would you want to do in the gaming industry

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Stosh and Deej I think

If I had decided to do anything in the gaming industry, It probably would have been voice over. I can do a variety of different character voices.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

If I were to get a job with Bungie it would probably be within in the writing or art team. I have no engineering experience. But the truth is, I'm not a great artist or writer, so I wouldn't get in with them at all.

Just an average Iowa State University student. Go Cyclones!

I'm working towards a BS in Computer Science at my university. I'm interested in 3D computer animation too, which I can experiment with if I go for a Digital Media minor. If all goes the way I want, I'll get some experience with the game development club on campus, intern at Microsoft at some point, work on some projects by myself. I'd like to get into the industry right out of college. Bungie is my first choice, followed by Gearbox. But I'm only a freshman now, that's several years down the road.

Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

Depends on what you define as a community member. Bungie.net community? Or the complete online Bungie community.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to to be a writer or try and be a community manager like DeeJ or Urk when the position opens again. I know I'm not the only one however, it'd be really difficult.

DEEDLE LEEDLE LEEDLE DEEEEE

Every day I think about working at Bungie, but then I just say hey, I'll just do something easier, and become a doctor. Really, Bungie is great, but I don't see myself ever being a good enough game designer, or engineer to work there.

I have no skills. I could be the official snack go-getter.

Or cheerer-upper when things go badly.

2.) "Agressive Sucks" - Moss Landing
3.) Custom Version of "Meet Oscar" - Louder Productions Music
4.) "Behind You Rise" - Distortion Music
5.) "Aurora" - Mark Petrie
6.) "Surge Down - Audio Machine

If I were to work at Bungie, my job would be the full-time groomer of Sage's beard.

I'd be hard-pressed to find an exception if I said we were all fans before we were colleagues.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I currently have a Bachelor of Commerce in Management and am thinking about starting my MBA soon and considering specializing in Marketing for that. I would consider a Marketing Management role at Bungie someday, maybe.

Dream big, folks.

Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Wasn't he an employee first, then community member, and then employee again? Or was there a moment of memberness beforehand that I was unaware of?

Well, I'm studying Computer Science at Western Washington University. We'll see where that takes me :)

I'm currently getting my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Digital Art and Animation (BFA) at DigiPen in Redmond WA. As far as Bungie goes, it all depends were I'm at in four years. If I don't push for my other aspirations then I will definitely apply for a job at Bungie. I can not tell you what I would do there yet.

Would have been nice to go there if I knew that Computer Science was the thing for me, especially since I live like 15 minutes away from it >_>

Are they still in the building next to Nintendo?
