What Game Developers Must Do Before They Need Their Next Job | Doug Pennant

Today, I’m joined by Doug Pennant, a Senior Producer at Infinity Ward, drawing on 16 years across Alien: Isolation, Total War, and Call of Duty, who explains how game developers can build resilient, long-term careers in an industry shaped by layoffs, changing technology, and increasingly project-based employment.

We talked about transferable skills, difficult managers, networking before you need a job, adapting your CV to the market, and why MobyGames could become an important hiring tool for game developers.

If you’re a game developer, producer, or an industry professional who wants to build a career that lasts, this episode is for you.
