As an ex-expert in one’s field & the accountable leader for art delivery, it’s not rare for some art directors to feel the pull of trying to answer: “How will we do this?”. But restrain yourself; your job is to state What you want/Where to go & articulate Why. Let your experts find the solutions.

Just thought it'd be worth putting this out there - don't assume that experience in game development automatically secures your future! There are many seniors out of a job at any moment especially right now given the difficult market. Privilege is rare.

New graduates & hopefuls in game dev, hear me. Sell yourselves better! I do want to salute your courage & your energy. It's not easy to put yourself out there and contact studios and strangers, sending requests in the form of cold calls and spontaneous applications. But it's often not enough.

Not that I want to be a bummer, but there is a vast difference between enjoying a hobby and enjoying the same hobby as a professional. For better and for worse, depending. Be aware of it, or at least be aware that adaptability is primordial if you choose a professional tied to your passions!
