Hi everyone,

I’m pivoting from the entertainment industry to a regular office job ( project management ) and I’m not sure what to do about my LinkedIn
Should I wipe my art from my profile / posts? The best practice for my industry was to upload your art regularly but I’m aware it’s completely unique to this field

I’m worried it might make me lose credibility and it might look too childish / “girly” for corporate

I’ve never worked in a different industry so I’m completely new to this

Thanks !

Hi everyone,

I’m at the very beginning of a career pivot and would love some honest advice.

I worked for 2 years as a concept artist / game artist in the video game industry. My producer ran the team with agile / Scrum methods (sprints, daily stand-ups, retrospectives…) so I saw how it worked from the inside.

I want to pivot into a more project/product role/ project management…I’m considering getting certifications like PSM I (Scrum Master) and PSPO I (Product Owner). I have no diploma, but I’m going to try for a VAE (French recognition of experience)

1. Is this pivot viable for someone coming from an art background, without a tech degree?

2. Should I also get other certs? For example UX? Or something else that pairs well with Scrum/PO?

3. How worried should I be about AI eating into PO roles?

4. Stay in games or switch fields? I know the game industry is tough to break into. Would you recommend targeting other industries (IT, finance, etc.) instead or can I leverage my game experience?

5. Any other advice for someone at the very start of this journey?

Thanks a lot for any honest feedback !!
