2024年游戏和互动行业薪酬和满意度报告

FOREWORD This year marks our10th annual Games & Interactive Salary & Satisfaction Survey! Every year for the last decade we have conducted a survey aimed at the brilliant andtalented people of the games & interactive industries. The survey covers not only salary,but also a range of other points of interest which grow and vary year to year. This year we covered brand new topics based on current events, noting the changesthat have come from industry wide layoffs and redundancies and we take a close lookat how they have impacted the priorities of those in industry and as a result we haveseen some changes this year that haven’t been observed in previous years. For the firsttime we see “concerned about the future of the company” as a consistent top 3 placerwhen it comes to reasons to change job, which reflects the current concerns around jobsecurity and the shutting down of studios over the past months. Another interestingpiece of data is that 24% of respondents are considering leaving the industry as a resultof redundancies. This could mark big changes for the industry and the studios stillworking to stay open. The last insight I’d like to highlight is the drop in the number ofpeople working remotely both full time and hybrid. Notably those expecting to workremotely one day or more a week in Western Europe has dropped from 88% to 75% inthe last year. This leads me to consider how studios are encouraging their employees tocome onsite, and whether the office/studio spaces needed for this in person work couldcontribute to the budget constraints and rising costs that many studios are facing. With 66% of respondents filling out our survey for the first time, we are continuing tocollect data from more and more people, even a decade on. We are so happy tocontinue to produce these reports for the industry we love and provide for, we aredetermined to do all we can to help you find new roles and provide studios with the bestinformation we can through our reports. We even had three respondents complete our survey for the tenth time, so whether it’syour first or tenth time taking part, thank you. If you have any questions about the areas that we touch on in this report, then asalways, we’d love to hear from you. We will be producing a series of follow up reportscovering topics such as the gender pay gap and a deep dive into how the industry haschanged over the decade we have been collecting data. If you have any requests of anarea or topic, you’d like us to cover in a mini report, please do get in touch! Alternatively, if you or your studio would like us to look into a specific area or job titlethen please get in touch and we will look into to attaining this data for you. Once againthis year we have an online feedback form to improve our efficiency in answeringsurvey-related queries. If you have any questions, requests or feedback, please visit ourfeedback form and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Finally, thank you again to everyone who completed our 10th annual survey or simplyspread the word.
