Such a good and important video to address specifically the process of applying for audio dev jobs. Really like the production quality on this video but also think that this would be a great podcast/audio only series of tips and advice so that one can listen on the go.
Out of curiosity even though I don't consider myself as an audio developer, it would be interesting to make a video with common-advanced interview questions regarding DSP programmer.
Hey guys, how is the audio programming industry in terms of salaries, grow potential...etc? Is it a sector in wich you easily get a job if you have the knowledge?
That's a great question! I would answer in this way: there is more work than it could be expected :) So I have no trouble finding job openings. As for the salary, I'd say it's equal or higher to the corresponding C++ developer positions: it depends on location, seniority level, and additional leverage.
in the hardware audio space in the US you're looking at 130-300k depending on location but nearly everyone at the big companies has at least a master's in electrical engineering or a related discipline. the less 'fun' your job is the more pay. for example game dev jobs and synthesis plugin / effects jobs pay in the lower range but consumer electronics, streaming services pay closer to 100k e.g. native instruments. also keep in mind a lot of the 'fun' jobs can be in lower cost of living locations in the US, so your salary goes farther. in San Francisco you can get paid $300k and live like you would be making $65k euro in most of europe (yes an apartment can be $5000 a month in san francisco, money is worthless there, which is why i don't live there anymore (: )

Thanks, will consider it!
Thanks for this video, I am looking for a career transition ... I will watch more videos about this.
Great overview! Thanks from Freiburg, Germany.
Thanks for the video! I am trying to switch from embedded software to audio apps (iOS and C++) and your videos help a lot.
Great to hear!
New video! 🥳 ❤️🐺

Is there a chance in the industry for someone who doesn't speak english very well? How have you dealt with that as a non native?
Yes, you can find great audio programmers who don't speak English very well 😉

@@WolfSoundAudio I'm learning to program my own plugins, and your comment gives me hope to continue, knowing that I'm entering a buoyant industry.
