It's the New Year, which for many means taking stock of their life and career during the past year and drawing up a list of resolutions and plans for the year ahead.
Thousands of people were impacted by layoffs in 2023 across the games and wider tech sector. Post-pandemic highs shrank for many companies, while poor macroeconomic conditions and other challenges such as ATT and shifting landscapes led to downsizing across the sector.
Whether you’re looking to bounce back in 2024 with a new job in games, level up your career at your current company or break into the industry fresh, PocketGamer.biz is here to help.
Throughout January we’ll be running articles all about getting you that dream job in the mobile games industry.
But we’d like your help too!
