Hi everyone!
I am currently very busy because of the end of my PhD thesis and my new job! This is why I am not currently very active.
So, as I said, my PhD is over. The manuscript is currently proofread by my two advisors. I will defend my PhD on January 21st 2010.
I finally had a phone interview with the game company that contacted me 2 times last year. Despite the fact that "I have a very interesting profile", they told me that I still "have to get more experience"... So sad... :/ So this is what I am doing right now by working at Dynamixyz as a R&D engineer. It is a new French start-up so you can imagine that there is a lot of work to do!! :) I am mainly involved in the development of the CG part of their facial animation tools pipeline.
I want to finish this post with these interesting/funny random links:

Good luck for your PhD defense.
ReplyDeleteNow that you have a "real" work, you should earn enough money to stop eating rice everyday :D
Tha game company that contacted you, they need you to have more experience to give you an interesting position instead of a rookie one, or they won't take you at all as long as you need more experience ?
That's hard to always hear (in France) that a PhD is NOT a working experience... sad...
It's me who have to get more experience! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, sad to hear in France that Dr are mainly considered as lazy people that have to get paid more. But the game company was a German one.
Ok my post may be confusing. The German game company (which you should easily guess which one) consider that fact of being a PhD student as an advantage. :) As far as I know (some German people told me), Dr are respected people in Germany.
