I applied in 2015. They had a careers page with available positions with instructions on how to apply for specific roles, but I haven’t kept up with whether it still exists or not. If your heart’s set on Bungie, get started now on all available IT and Coding work you can find. Somewhere that’ll give you a good reference whan you want to move to the US will be good. Then once you’re ready and have some experience, get yourself a passport for the US + work visa and file an application for every available role, even ones you don’t feel qualified for. Lastly, HR in any big business is a huge disorganised mess. Most job applications never see the light of day because management flat out doesn’t do their own job. So if you can find someone within Bungie to build a connection with, them recommenting you for work will be a huge help in landing a job. Nepotism is super lame but that’s just the way it goes. If your plan for Bungie falls over the first time, land yourself any coding/IT job you can find in the US to be able to stay stateside on a work visa and try again the next chance you get. Lastly, I hear coding jobs in the US are a pretty vicious gig, so don’t be afraid to negotiate wages and benefits in your job interviews. The last thing you want is to land your dream job only to find it isn’t a liveable wage and offers no paid holidays. This may not seem relevant to you but there are less openings for playtesting/writing off the bat from what I’ve seen, and getting your foot in the door at least helps get you started within bungie, with opportunity for getting into the role you want in the future (a lot of places will prefer to fill major roles internally rather than find new blood from outside). Obviously this isn’t always the case, and if you’d rather play it differently, go ahead. Go get ‘em, chief.

  • Firstly, thank you so much. The last time I checked they still had the page with available positions. I also think living in The States is a must for my dream, so I guess I can try to get a scholarship in America. I've heard some big companies like Microsoft have international scholarship programs for software desing, so that would probably be my best bet. When you have time, would you mind talking about how it went when you applied five years ago? Thanks again.

  • There wasn’t really anything to my application, I just submitted it via email and never heard about it again. Even if it did make it to a HR manager’s eyes (which I doubt), I imagine it wasn’t worth getting back to me as I live internationally and they didn’t want the phone call or even email.
