Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed the interview. As someone fairly fresh to the professional world myself, It is both refreshing and encouraging to see a broader range of opportunities for composers and sound designers with more opportunities for varied work experiences.

I agree that it is important to set realistic expectations and that most people won’t leave school and score “Destiny” the following year.
The GameSoundCon 2014 industry survey (GameSoundCon Industry Survey) reported that the average time in the industry for composers for “AAA” (large budget games like Halo, Call of Duty, etc.) is almost 11 years.

That said, there are a very large number of games being made today, across a wide range of budgets the majority of which are open to those composers and sound designers who are just starting out.
