There is not one job listing on Craigslist in the Seattle and surrounding area, which includes a ton of game dev firms. Performing a nation-wide search for "animator" on Monster came up with 1 job, in LA. Doing the same on careerbuilder.com came up with just a couple, again, nationwide....most were for animation instructor....
Whats going on? Is it just dead right now. How about some real advise. I just came back from an informational meeting about a 3D animation certification course from the University of Washington. I'm not going to fucking move for every single job fucking change, is that what is now expected? Sorry, im a little PO'd, i just changed jobs in preparation for this certification course, and now im learning i've been reading sugar coated advise for months. Can someone lay the facts down straight? Are jobs being outsourced, is physics driven animation the future, is it only Mo-cap they're doing now?
