    Who's writing this?

    I'm Adam Hobbs. Over a decade in the games industry. Certified career coach.

    Got laid off at 45. Then again at 47. Rebuilt the whole thing from scratch after 50. Now I run this playbook with serious operators in games at every level — coming out of (and into) Xbox, Sony, Riot, Nintendo, EA, Obsidian.

    Not just a coach. A partner who's in it with you until you land.
