In 2016 I became a rendering engineer at a AAA game company. How did I enter the industry?

Then I asked on Twitter if anyone had an opening for someone like me. An engineer from RAD Game Tools retweeted it, and that led to 3 job interviews, and ultimately me being hired.

@jon_valdes hey wild we both entered the industry in the same year. I found my job through a friend on twitter 😎

@aeva Twitter was amazing for making contacts in the industry back then 😭
