Working at a start-up is an amazing experience. It has the potential to change your life, change your view of the world and drastically expand your understanding of what is possible. Overnight you will become a doer, a mover, a fixer and although that might be stressful at first, it won’t be long before it seems like a walk in the park. You get to be part of a small, passionate and highly enthusiastic group that has often set out to solve huge challenges and while at it, build empires. It’s incredibly energizing to see the results of a project first hand, see your impact on the company and share in the rewards and glory. But really, life in start-up-land is incredibly difficult to describe to someone who has never done it. As Techcrunch once accurately described it, jumping from a corporate job into start-up-life is – in some respects – like taking the red pill and getting ejected from the Matrix.
If you’ve ever toyed with the idea of working at a start-up but want to get a feel whether it’s right for you first, we’ve got just what you’re looking for. XMG is participating in the Toronto Start-up Open House event on October 30th from 4-7pm and will be opening its doors (we’re located here) to absolutely anyone interested in what a mobile gaming start-up looks like from the inside. XMG is in great company with over 75 other Toronto based start-ups including companies like Think Data, Shopify, Bitmaker Labs, Hurrier, Tilt, Indiegogo Canada, and Nymi (along with a host of others). Visitors will get to meet the founders, hang out with the team and see how and where we work. Over 1000 people are set to take part in the free event – sign up here to reserve your spot.
If you’re still on the fence, consider this: How often does an outsider get an inside view of what it’s really like to be part of the Tech-avante-garde? The answer to this is: pretty much never. But now, you have the chance…
