Have you always been working in the gamdev industry? Did you ever work for other standard software-eng companies?

I do not work in any company as of now, though I have interned at a couple of giants and would be joining another one soon. I'm really interested in getting into gamedev. I'm just unsure because I've heard a lot about how tough it is to get a stable source of income, and how the perks/work-life balance of a job in the gamedev differs from one in the soft-eng industry.

I want to explore the areas that are common to both gamedev and standard software companies so I could have an easier transition from either ways if I wanted to. Any ideas anyone?

That's good to know. Are you aware of any areas that I could look into which might make it easier to transition into gamedev? Some things that come to my mind are CUDA related and particle physics related.

Also, can you point me to a few people who have shifted from some other industry into gamedev and have done well?
