Europe

The industry is starting to decentralise away from traditional hubs . Hiring activity in the UK , Malta and Gibraltar is still prominent , though none of these locations offer the same attraction factor they once did for overseas candidates . Hybrid and remote work , as well as newly regulating markets , have broadened the industry ’ s European footprint . Eastern Europe is no longer a quick-fix source for tech talent ; remote hiring has maxed out supply and driven up salaries substantially .

Rest of the world

Adventurous souls with gaming experience will find jobs in every corner of the world . Relocation commands a major premium ; employers consider imported talent a highly valuable prize . In LatAm , talent is in demand across Brazil , Columbia , Chile , Panama and Argentina . In Africa , buying power is high across Nigeria , South Africa , Kenya and elsewhere . In Southern and East Asia , meanwhile , complexities of regulation or outright governmental hostility makes for a challenging recruitment market .
