Esports, the competitive video gaming industry, is one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide. The possibilities are endless, from eSports competitions to streaming on Twitch or YouTube. However, it can be challenging for beginners to know where to start if you're interested in esports. One possible pathway is becoming a volunteer for an organization like Major League Gaming or ESL before working your way up.

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI.

Any tips for moving up in a medium/large-sized legal department, aside from switching companies? I work in a collegial environment with plenty of opportunities to create more value, but the management level is fairly crowded and it seems the clearest path to get one of those roles is to be hired into it. What has been your experience? Thanks!

So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

Thoughts on convincing gf to stay? 27M dating 28F for ~1.5 years. We knew each other in HS and reconnected during the pandemic. Everything was so connected, compatible and hot, and we planned a life together. We thought we met the loves of our lives. We moved to NYC in January. Lost intimacy and connection. She’s unwilling to work on things. Such a genuinely talented and beautiful woman, but has trust issues and depression from being overworked. Thoughts on convincing vs surrendering / leaving?

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.

The word “esports” is quickly becoming a buzzword, and it’s no surprise why. Have you ever wondered what professional gaming looks like? What do the top players look like? What are the events all about? Esports is booming with young adults who don’t want to be desk jockeys or lawyers; they want to be rockstars! As esports grows, more jobs will open up for creatives, marketers, organizers, and more.

Many people ask the question: How do I get started in Esports? The answer is pretty simple. The first step is to start small and work your way up. Beginning with lower-tier or less popular games at a local level will allow you to get a feel for what it’s like to be an Esports player and start building the skills needed to move on to bigger and better things.
