I recently came across a thread where a beginner asked whether it’s still worth getting into VFX, and honestly, most of the replies were incredibly bleak. A lot of people were saying the industry is in a terrible state right now, especially for juniors, and that even experienced artists are struggling to find work.

So now I’m curious to hear more opinions from people actually working in the industry:

Is it really that hard for newcomers to break into VFX right now? Does the current market genuinely leave almost no room for juniors, or is Reddit just being overly pessimistic as usual?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who entered the industry recently, or who are currently involved in hiring / team building.
