Koka for Hire

Part 1/25

For two months now, I’ve been actively and purposefully searching for a job in the gaming industry. It’s been four months since I began this journey, but the first couple of months were about warming up, diving into the topic, coming to terms with the idea, and learning the necessary tools.

Why am I doing this at all?

First of all, I need to make some extra money!

I have an established medical business that doesn’t require too much time to manage and provides a relatively stable income. However, this business operates in Russia, which is more of a constant source of stress than a reliable revenue stream.

If you’ve been living under a rock for the past three years, let me briefly catch you up. Our dictator launched an invasion of Ukraine, sparking a full-scale war in Europe. Besides causing hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of ruined lives, this has destroyed Russia's economy, while escalating repressions have rendered property rights—already shaky—an empty formality.

As a result, I have to work harder just to maintain current income levels, while also bracing myself for the possibility that what was mine yesterday evening might belong to some Neo-Bolshevik Commissar by morning. Not the greatest perspective for financial stability.
