Why PDG engineers are the hardest Houdini hire right now

PDG sits between FX, pipeline and the render farm. Strong candidates need Houdini depth, solid Python and an understanding of scheduling, which rarely sit in one person.

Studios that hire well here often look for pipeline developers who are curious about Houdini, or FX TDs who have automated their own wedging, and then invest in training.

If you're one of those people, your market value is higher than you think.
