I guess the underlying question from here is "how do I get a job as a graphics programmer? What do people interviewing for a grpahics engineer want?"
Probably not the best question to ask in this market where everything is especially selective, but even as a now "senior" engineer (I guess I passed that magical 5 year mark a while ago) it feels like I still fall into the catch 22 of "be a graphics engineer to get a job as a graphics engineer"
Honestly, I couldn't say Johnny. I'm not a graphics engineer, just a hobbyist game programmer who works in construction, but I did so some internet searching and came across some blogs that I found interesting.
Thanks, I appreciate any resources offered. I didn't know about the Alex Tardif stuff, so that was especially interesting.
The Aras blog was especially nostalgic too. Real shame I never got a chance to speak with him back at Unity. Joining right during the pandemic removed a lot of potential to travel out to Copenhagen and meet some of these giants of the industry.
