Not really looking myself, but just curious to see if people have insights to share

    I can only speak from my own experience but the remote gamedev market seems harsh right now. Constant layoffs means the market is flooded with talent and juniors are struggling to break into the field. When I was still in college I’d see a couple of internship opportunities and junior job posts but they seem to be disappearing. Why hire a newbie when there are 50 seniors desperate for a job?

    Investors are still trying to make web3 happen. Maybe about half the remote job posts utilizing Godot seem to be for some NFT/crypto game. That may just be because few people are applying, though.

    I would hope things get better but nobody really knows where the trend is going. For now, I’m getting pretty comfy with freelancing and just working on a contract basis.
