In response to the evolving gaming landscape, where the scale of development and technical requirements have greatly increased, the role of a creator has expanded beyond mere technical skills. Nowadays, there is a significant demand for leadership abilities and a holistic vision of project management. As professionals progress in their careers, they often face critical choices: should they further refine their specialization or step into a managerial role? This is especially pertinent in their 30s, making it vital to understand how to enhance one's market value early on.

Many creators find themselves grappling with questions such as, Is my current career path the right one? How are my skills valued in the marketplace? If I consider a job change, where do I even begin? The upcoming event will feature expert career advisors from C&R Corporation, who have over a decade’s experience in supporting creators within the gaming and CG industries. They will provide practical perspectives on how creators in their 30s can effectively communicate their experiences and skills to maximize their market value.
