Anyone here work in the gaming industry? I've been thinking about trying to join the industry for awhile, but wasn't sure if there were good opportunities out there for a consulting skill set, could anyone share their experiences in the industry?

OP, I work for one off the "Big 3" and can tell you, your consulting experience transfers over and is actually desired. Something to note, pay can be low in comparison to consulting. What's your background?

@H1, oh yeah. I have a BA in creative writing and with your background, you could either work for the Marketing BU or Localization.

Do you want to work in developing games or marketing them? Those are two very different areas.

I have an opportunity to become a fractional CMO for a startup that I really like. I have no idea what to charge hourly. I’m reading online $200/hr+ but that seems crazy to me. It would be a 1099 role.

Am I underselling myself if I charge $150/hour for 10 hours of work a week? I typically charge this for my existing freelance rates, but that is not for CMO work.
