| content | Text | | According to the latest Big Games Industry Employment Survey, about 15% of games industry workers in Europe were laid off and found new jobs in 2023/2024, while 6.2% were still looking for work. The survey also found that 10% of games professionals switched to jobs in other industries.
Certain roles, including HR, recruitment, QA, and artists, were more prone to layoffs. The survey highlighted a pay discrepancy between EU and non-EU countries, with most salaries increasing in 2024, though some roles, particularly HR, recruiting, and QA, saw salary declines.
Tanja Loktionova, founder of Values Value, noted that senior HR professionals, recruiters, QA specialists, mid-level business developers, and junior roles were most affected by layoffs and salary drops.
The Big Games Industry Employment Survey found that burnout, unprofessional management, and poor work-life balance were the most common reasons for job dissatisfaction.
Remote work remains high, with 57% of EU companies offering it, and 75% in non-EU European countries. Additionally, 54% of game developers reported using AI in their daily work and finding it helpful, up from 37% last year. |
