Got me a industry job :)

[ae.]

Just finished Signing my contract to work at Electronic Arts Burnaby as a QA tester through VMC. Its a contract position but i hope to make the most of it.
Although its not an art position it'll help me dip my toes in the industry and learn how production works in a huge company like EA :)

If anyone works at EA Burnaby and wants to grab some drinks sometime i would love to meet up! :thumbup:


sooo excited!:)

Wow congrats man! Hope you have fun! :P

congrats!!

Starting in QA is too often overlooked in its value. It's helped me immensely to communicate with other teams about problems etc.

Just stay positive and do your best at your current job. I did QA for a little over a year before I finally got into the art side of things so hang in there!

[Ghostscape]

grats, make the most of it!

[OBlastradiusO]

Congrats man!

[jocose]

Cool man, just be careful to not be too pushy. One of my friends got fired from his QA job because he was spending too much time with the dev team. I know it's retarded but if they get the sense that your only there to get another job in the studio it can spell bad news.

Anways congrats, could be the start of big things :)

[Cody]

[Blaizer]

[PeterK]

Mobahrak agha. Congrats , I'm sure you'll do an excellent job there.

[killingpeople]

how have you not gotten an art position? ... at any rate, congrats! but don't go slack'n on your art now.

[7point83hertz]

congrats :)

/next up, grammar.

[aesir]

a side note btw. I was looking at your site (nice work on there!), and it was loading really slowly. It's because you must save all your jpegs at no compression or something. Use the save for web function. You really can't notice much of a difference, and your site will load 10x faster.

[Frump]

Wow congrats! Hopefully I can have similar success sometime soon.:)

[Yozora]

yay grats \o/

[BigHoss]

Congrats AE!

[rebel]

Very cool, congrats!

[salman_fas]

congrats dude

[imb3nt]

Congrats!

and godspeed!

[crazyfingers]

QA's a heck of an experience, and it's actually enjoyable for a while too ;).

Have fun man, keep pumping out the art, do a good job, and don't take the job too seriously, all i can really say.

[Pope Adam]

Grats dude, I'm sure you'll get put on art team as soon as they see how much talent you have - best of luck! Welcome to the biz!

[Shogun3d]

Congrats :)

[TWilson]

Good job mang

[Emil Mujanovic]

Congrats, mate!
Most of our QA team here eventually get into a dev position. Its quite rare that a member of QA will remain in QA for an extended period of time, unless they are looking at being a QA manager or something.
Hopefully it'll be the same for you. Like jocose mentioned, don't be too pushy with trying to score an art role, but make sure they are aware that you eventually want to step into it when something does open up.

[ae.]

Thanks guys!

[Vrav]

Finally, you rock ae. Do a good job!

[00Zero]

[soulstice]

[JasonLavoie]

AE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell fackin' yuh you did! Obviously you'll move up into an art position buddy, whenever you get that oportunity to pimp your work, do so man!

It's creepy, but i actually smiled when i read the post title... knew you'd get in soon man!!!!

[vik]

nice one AE! :)

[pliang]

Good stuff, a friend of mine eventually got into dev support for the art team for a little while after being @ EAC for a year or so. Use the time wisely to befriend the production team and just stay on target and you'll likely be trusted to work with the art team eventually.

[ae.]

Thanks for all the support guys! My first day of work was today and i had a blast!

[Pope Adam]

yay!!!!

[skankerzero]

congrats!
