I want to work for Bungie but I'm going to a Institute of Technology in Canada

I've Been playing Destiny ever since Destiny 1 back in 2015 It was a game that took my heart loving it for all my existence, It's now 2023 and I'm now graduating High School and moving on to Post-Secondary and I've been wanting to [b]work for Bungie as a Gameplay Designer[/b] for the longest time, dreaming about it ever since freshman year of high school. I live in [b][u]Canada[/u][/b] so I'm going to BCIT ([b][u]British Columbia Institute of Technology[/u][/b]) for 2 years to get my [b][u]Diploma in Computer Systems[/u][/b] and do Back for 2 more years to get my [b][u]Bachelor's of Technology[/u][/b] in Computer Systems. I was just going through the careers on Bungie's page and noticed in all the [b][u]ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS[/u][/b] it says (A recent graduate from a U.S. college, university) I'm worried about the U.S Part, does that mean U.S College/Universities ONLY? Am I still able to work for Bungie even if [b][u]I went to a Post Secondary In Canada[/u][/b] even if it is a (related program) such as ([b][u]Animation, Development, Designer, ETC[/u][/b])?

    I think you'll be fine. Those credentials shouldn't be a limitation. I believe they're saying if your degree and certs come from a scam online "college" or some tropical island those references might not carry you. Is your institution accredited? That's numero uno. 2. You're probably going to want some viable experience so like an internship. I'm not 100%, but I think Bungie has an internship program. It might have been suspended due to Covid, but I'd look into something like that. Just don't sign any oppressive non-compete contract unless you're sure that's where you want to end up. Why, getting an internship w Bungie would probably be your best path if you want to work there. In the meantime, contact their careers/hiring team or dm a community manager for advice/consultation. These are my recommendations. To be clear, I don't work there... but that's the path you would take. Remember that non-compete thing, especially if you're talented... because companies might try to hogtie you for yrs after if you don't stay with them. Generally, it's 6-9 months, but if you're not a lead... I'd try to get out signing something like that unless you absolutely have to. Hope this helps, again... I'm not a Bungie employee or contractor. Edit: Now that I think more about it, it could be a visa consideration... they don't want to lose someone in the middle of a development cycle when their visa paperwork hits a snag for some bureaucratic reason. I actually know of someone that has had to deal with that.

      As a fellow gamer from BC Canada. I say apply anyways. The worst that can happen is they say no.
