I suppose it is too late to ask a question now but just in case...
How did you get into game QA? Have you ever done other kinds of QA and if so, how does game QA differ?
I got into QA at Jagex as it was a good entry point into the industry. I had never done QA before and didn't really know what was involved either.
I studied game design in university. After graduating I did a stint as a researcher for a nearby university creating VR/AR app prototypes for their clients, and then went back to teach/mark projects at my old university for about a month. At that point i applied for Jagex and here i am.
QA and really any other role can differ depending on what company or studio you're at. At a baseline there are many similarities of course, and the knowledge/experience required is always invaluable.
