I always wanted to work at a games studio, but it's tough to achieve it for your first job... or the second... or... In Mexico it's quite a challenge to get into the videogames industry especially because it's just starting to be a thing, and just to clarify, I'm talking about solid studios with their own published games and/or collaborations in international games.

Anyway, I'm not writing this to discourage you, by the opposite, I hope this article helps out all of those people that technically do what they like but in the wrong industry, for example a 2D artist that makes characters, but works for an enterprise's internal communication instead of working for a games or tv series studio, or a game designer who designs marketing mini-games limited by their client's desires and branding guidelines, or like I was, a Unity developer who makes boring stuff for training and educational purposes. When you are in this situation you live a bittersweet life, on the one hand you do what you like and what you are good for, so you are comfortable, but on the other hand, you don't actually enjoy it, and I don't know if you agree but for me joy is everything when it comes to that thing you spend most of your time.
