I’m not sure about you, but I never want to work for a company merely for the brand. I think before anyone considers a company, like Google or Microsoft, they should join for the job position rather than the business itself.

I have written 15k lines of code for a game I made). The feeling of “I gave an object a soul, so it can move and operate on its own” is something that is so enjoyable, and gives me the feeling of having ultimate power.

Yeah I get all that, I’ve written game engines, studied OpenGL and GLSL, toyed around with Unity and Unreal - even made some decent stuff in both. Not to mention the entire failed 3D animation career attempt.

But at the end of the day, you will come to realize that the place with the most opportunity for you is probably worth your time the most. Opportunity can be measured many ways, certainly dollars is one of them, growth is another, learning potential, world impact, career impact, etc.

Some people find places where they can have power, others want to mess around with awesome hardware, etc. It makes sense, this place is the right place for me with the right combination of features given where I landed.
