Post di Alessandro Fileni

18 years ago I got my start in the games industry with QA work experience at Lionhead Studios. Now I'm super proud to say we're doing a QA internship at ustwo games. 9 month paid contract and relocation costs covered. This is your chance! No games experience or education required! https://lnkd.in/exYksany

Dear network, my good buddy Guillaume is hiring for 2 newly opened roles for APEX Legends marketing team in Germany: - Brand Manager https://lnkd.in/e2fFcuvA -Associate Brand Manager https://lnkd.in/eVKiz8rZ If you’re interested or know anyone suitable, please feel free to apply/forward the links :)

Well friends, after 20 Seasons on Apex Legends and 5 years at Respawn nearly to the day, I have had my role as Global Social Media Lead made redundant and find myself laid off. It has been an honor and a pleasure not only growing the Apex Legends social channels from the ground up, but fostering the rich community that has followed. Any leads on potential new places to land would be much appreciated. I bring with me 12 years of communications experience with 10 of those years being in games and 5 of those being deeply rooted in live-service.

I'm a dreamer, but some are just too good to be true. One month ago (4 weeks after I joined Microsoft), my position was impacted by the latest round of #layoffs. If you have read my previous post, you can figure out the rest.   I still have a little over a month in which I’ll do some (other) internal applications, but I’m also actively looking for other #hybrid positions, ideally in #Zurich (or #remote of course), but I’ll also consider #Milan and anything that might be interesting. #SoWhat: if you know someone who is hiring or see something related to #Marketing (digital, trade/channel/partner) or #Brand/ #product management, please share my name or let me know. I also have experience in sales and project management and in general, with a past in Google and Microsoft, I’m a flexible and curious fast learner. What my ex-managers says about me: https://lnkd.in/eq5yT-nb   I appreciate your support. A thought to all my colleagues as well: *virtual hug* #opentowork #microsoftalumni #xoogler   --- On a more emotional and personal note, I’m passionate about three things: games, snowboarding and chocolate. So, when I got the job at Xbox, in Switzerland, I objectively hit my personal jackpot: I was leaving Google (Ireland) for another BigTech, making (even more) good money, moving closer to my hometown while staying in the (perfectly functioning) land of chocolate, surrounded by mountains, to work in games. With some closer friends I even joked that MSFT became the most valuable company worldwide a week after I joined! Despite all the difficulties of (yet another) international relocation and changing my whole life for the second time in two years, I felt it was well worth it. And it was. It still is. Regardless of the outcome, which I had no control over, and the fact that wasn’t forecastable (not so soon, at least), I’m happy I managed to do it - having a great support network (and having thought about a plan B, C, D... last year when Google had their layoffs) helps a lot as well. I kind of knew from the start that this would have not been easy, for a number of reasons (“macroeconomic conditions”, gaming market instability, overall (public) Xbox strategy), in a month I didn’t even settle myself fully in the position (but hey, I received all the furniture the day before the news! Bad timing.) and I kind of saw it coming because of some other internal things. But this doesn’t make things easier. As always, let’s "trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future” (one of the best speeches and videos, ever) https://lnkd.in/en_sEh76
