Re:Show HN: Hey Gamer, a niche job board for Gaming Industry by emredemirel on Monday October 12, 2020 @02:31PM (#24757752)
Hey,

I am Emre who works and lives in Warsaw, Poland. Past weeks, I was working on Hey Gamer. I thought it'd be good to explain myself and why I started to build such a thing.

I am currently working in a gaming-related company. I get a lot of questions about working in such an environment. Most of them are coming from younger people.

I have concluded that most people think that you can work in a gaming company only if you are a game developer or designer. So I wanted to show that this is not correct. But this is only one of the many reasons I have.

As an employee and a gaming enthusiast, I am aware of "demanding" nature of gaming companies. And I believe that it shouldn't be like that. So I am trying to amplify the voice of those companies who care about their work-mates. Soon, I will start to produce content for both employers and employees about building an ethical and respectful working environment.

Lastly, I am building Hey Gamer as an Open Startup. So far I have nothing to show, but once I have some stats, everyone on the internet will be able to see what's going on inside my product. I also ditched Google Analytics for Simple Analytics, so I am trying to be as ethical as I can towards my future partners and visitors.

Please feel free to give me any feedback you can to make my product better. It's nowhere near to be a perfect product at the moment, but I dedicate all my evenings into it.
