How to become a Unity developer: where to start, what to prepare for, how to grow

What the talk is about

Yevhenii Ratushnyi shares his own path to becoming a Unity game developer from scratch. He learned in under two months using video courses, documentation, forums and a dedicated Telegram community, and urges beginners to start building small games of their own as early as possible. He lists the skills to learn, split into minimum, recommended and advanced. He then covers job hunting for juniors: the résumé, cover letters, LinkedIn, GitHub and itch.io, plus the types of companies (outsourcing, outstaffing, product, indie teams). He advises picking a place with a mentor and showing growth during the probation period. Finally, he covers avoiding burnout: game jams, personal projects, changing companies every few years and attending conferences. Useful for beginners and juniors.
