I wish I could have stayed in it. I loved it, and I loved my coworkers, and I loved making something that people I knew and cared about enjoyed… but I also can’t work in an industry where after 2 years of working on weekends until 3am making a project that then makes SOMEONE literally millions a day, all the while getting paid barely enough to pay back minimums on student loans, I and all my coworkers STILL lose our jobs out of the blue.
