Video Game Beta Tester


Just to let you know a video game tester salary is going to vary depending on the amount of experience that you have, skills and the companies that you work with.

And there is good news and bad news when it comes to your video game tester salary. So which do you want to hear first, the good news or the bad news. You know what we are going to start with the good news.

On the good side of things your video game tester salary can be as much as $70,000 or more. And to reach that $70,000 a year salary you will need to have at least 6 years of experience or more. But don't worry, your item is going to fly by pretty fast once you get your foot into the gaming industry.

And on a even better note, you can actually make more than $70,000 a year once you enter into other areas of the gaming industry.

So lets get to the bad news now, OK.

If you are fairly new to the industry, you can expect your game testers salary to be right around $15,000 to $20,000 a year. Yea, I know...this is pretty low to begin with.

But you have to understand that you have to begin somewhere.

But don't worry, you can increase your beginning salary if you can prove to gaming companies such as Nintendo, ea, blizzard etc. that you can take on a lot of games and also meet all the required deadlines.

You will have to prove to them that you can take on an increased amount of workload. After you prove to them that you can do this, they will give you a lot more video games to test which will increase your salary.

So to sum it up, how much you make is really up to you.
