Stardock Hiring?

April 8, 2006 1:26:57 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I was wondering if Stardock is hiring programmers. I've done some searching and found a few comments that they are, but i've not seen a specific email to send a resume/demo to. What kind of requirements are you expecting for people applying to be a programmer?
While I believe I'm not qualified yet for a commercial development position (unless you are interested in an apprenticeship ), this information could be very helpful. My current C++ knowledge would probably allow me to get a Visual Windows certificate, but I'm saving up money to attend Fullsail for a degree. I know just C++ in general isn't enough usually, so what all does a "smaller" company like Stardock want?

The biggest and most important requirement to work at Stardock is that you be willing to move to Plymouth, MI (or nearby it). You can email Brad (Frogboy) directly at bwardell@stardock.com.

Hey, I'd be willing to move to Plymouth, England - is that good enough?

Is relocation that big of an issue or is there something about Plumouth, MI that people should know?

It's built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground. The high turnover rate among the extra devs hired for GalCiv2 was given a more-or-less official explaination in the GalCiv2 Post Mortem article, but the truth is that they were all murdered by the wrathful spirits of the long dead.

You can rest assured that everything you just read is true, because it's on the Internet. They don't just let people make stuff up, you know?

I think it is just not an area people tend to think of as a big tech area. You know, it's not silicon valley. It also can get very cold and snowy there.

More or less, yeah. You'd be amazed how many people don't take such simple precautions when they join up with a software development company, though.

If I had spent a little more time learning instead of playing I might have gotten a chance to start my goal
