Thinking about leaving before the axe falls...

I'm a senior artist on a mobile game, been here for 4 years. Honestly, I've been updating my portfolio like crazy. I saw what happened at [other gaming company] and it scared the crap out of me. The writing's on the wall, isn't it? Mobile's been underperforming, and they're always talking about 'restructuring' in meetings. I'd rather jump than be pushed. Anyone have good interview experiences at other companies lately? What kind of questions are they asking? I'm terrified of getting caught off guard. Also, anyone have a good recruiter they can recommend? Hit me up in the DMs if you do. Thanks in advance.

Smart move to be proactive. I was in a similar boat a couple of years ago. Started seeing signs, projects getting quietly cancelled, budgets shrinking. Update your LinkedIn too, recruiters are all over that. As for interviews, be ready to talk about specific projects you've worked on, your role, and the challenges you faced. They really dig into problem-solving skills. Good luck!

Four years is a good run. Honestly, "underperforming" is like EA's middle name. Restructuring is probably always on the table. But jumping ship *right* before a potential severance package hits might not be the wisest financial decision. Weigh your options. Maybe quietly coast, polish that portfolio, and see what happens. Severance might buy you some time to find something better, *without* the pressure.
