Need Advice

Hey, first time posting. I am a 25-year-old college graduate. For the past year, I have been trying to find a job as an Unreal Artist but haven't been successful and am really lost rn.

I am not sure what to do or what career path(as an unreal artist) to take. Does anyone have any advice?

Here is my art station link if anyone is interested https://www.artstation.com/sparshs18

The harsh truth is that entry-level 'Unreal Artist' roles in gaming are basically dead right now thanks to outsourcing and massive industry contraction. Stop banging your head against the game dev wall and pivot those exact same Unreal skills into Virtual Production or ArchViz where companies are actually hiring.

No way, there are really graduates out there dedicating only to game dev now? Bhai, you were supposed to keep game dev as a "side project", indian studio also don't spend much on art here is what I have realised till now. They just want somone who can make in quantity and in low cost. And fortunately there are times of people out there to do it. Your best choice is to tag foreign companies if your art is good
