Insider Insights Episode #1 | Esports Origin Stories

As a jobs website focusing on esports, the question we’re asked most frequently is “How do I get into esports?”

While we’re always happy to give advice based on our own experiences and knowledge, sometimes it’s best to hear things straight from the source.

That’s why we started this Insider Insights content series: to provide a resource for people looking for some inspiration or guidance of how to begin their journey, by speaking to current professionals working in #esports about their own paths.

From picking up a book that shared the title of a popular video game, to pro gamers using their networks to carve out a place as industry professionals, hear the origin stories of how various full timers in esports took their first steps into the scene.

If you’re ready to pursue your dream of working in esports, we post hundreds and hundreds of new esports jobs every month on https://hitmarkerjobs.com. Better yet? It’s totally free to sign up and search for jobs!
