At the turn of the millennium, Jon Warner worked as a UI/UX designer at Perot Systems—till the day he arrived at work and found out he was no longer a designer there. Laid off for the first time, he took a friend's advice and applied at Microsoft, where he became a test lead for Xbox. After that, he went on to work as a producer at the Walt Disney Company and Electronic Arts. He served as a senior producer on Mass Effect 3's multiplayer component, then Mass Effect 3: The Citadel, and other BioWare releases before winding up in the role of game director on the short-lived Anthem.

Josh Ratsavong didn't plan on quitting school and breaking into the industry in the middle of a pandemic. But plans change, and he wound up getting a contract gig as a hardware tester for Microsoft.

After that job ended, Josh applied to Nintendo of America's software-testing team in Redmond, Washington, where he earned his first video-game credit—for an eleven-month stint doing QA on The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
