hinst12992yYou gotta get hired to work on a trashy mobile game pay-to-win. Then you will prolly get good a payment and a good work-life balance

Berend12yIt all depends on the company you're going to work for. I've worked in game dev first, and later switched to app/web dev. I hated the fact that you're waiting all day for unity or unreal engine to compile your shit and start to get running. Generally it seems that working with 'broken windows' are more common in game companies. I would advice to stay in fintech and develop your own games.

Piniuze1511dSwitching from fintech to game development can be exciting, but it’s definitely worth weighing the pros and cons. Game dev is highly creative, allowing you to bring stories and mechanics to life, which can be incredibly rewarding. However, crunch culture and tight deadlines are real issues in some studios, so researching the work culture of specific companies is key.
Your fintech background could be a big asset in areas like backend systems or monetization strategies, especially for live-service games.
