Search Results: what's more appealing

After 3 long years of job searching, I finally got into the film industry doing post production and technical stuff and I can not be happier. It was my childhood dream.

I have some college friends who also work in film like myself but as animators, some that work in big game companies like Electronic Arts and some that are artists for mobile games. Mobile games is very entry level and quite easy to get into if you're a 2D or 3D artist. I got in a debate with a friend who is an artist for a mobile game company and constantly boasts about how cool his job is and how rich he will get and so on. My defense was I get to see shots of big movies before they are even released and I get to process the shots that the client (e. g Disney or Marvel) send us. To me, mobile games are okay and can be fun but they are not that popular like say EA games are and is much harder for them to gain a community. I won't disclose the company I work for but I get to work on some very big name movies even though I'm a very small role and 99% of the time they won't put my name in the end credits and just credit us as a whole studio but I don't care.

I feel like my job is more rewarding because people anticipate the release of the movies I work on but maybe I'm just being biased. When a mobile game is released, they constantly have to find people that they can sponsor to get the word out about their game. That's why you see so many gaming YouTubers get sponsored by mobile game developers.

So I want to ask the people of GaG of what they find appealing if given the opportunity and hopefully put this debate to bed.

I've been a Recruiting Coordinator for almost three years, but I'm not growing in my current role anymore. A job was posted at an organization that I'm really excited about and wouldn't mind working for, but it's a lateral move (the job title is literally Recruiting Coordinator) however some of the responsibilities will be different. I interviewed for the position and ended up accepting an offer, but I'm having second thoughts.

The problem is, I don't want to be a Recruiter at all. Like, being in Talent Acquisition doesn't appeal to me longterm, and I'm 30 years old so I've got to get serious about building a career. I really want to break into general HR and more behind the scenes stuff, because I'm an introvert and don't have a sales-y personality at all.

Was it a bad decision to go for this lateral career move? I'm REALLY excited about the organization I'll be working for, and I saw this as an opportunity to go work for them, but I don't know...

What do you think?
