The career zone was introduced in GIC 2016 and then repeated in 2017-2021 (under the new name of Geek Careers), with many companies attracting employees for their Polish and international offices.
Geek Careers in 2022 was already record-breaking and the game industry is growing at such an amazing pace that it constantly needs more manpower. Each year, dozens of companies are looking for employees at all levels.
Specialties with the highest demand definitely would be programmers, with the second being artists: 2D, 3D, Animators, VFX artists, and level artists. Third, designers: gameplay, level, quest, and game designers. But that is not all. The industry also needs product managers, QA engineers, testers, player support, and many more.
Bearing in mind that some of you may have limited time or means, we’ve made it really easy to take part in the event! Access to Geek Careers is free not only for all GIC attendees but also for a one-day visit using the Open Pass.
