Hi, same situation here, just with iOS instead of Android. Currently creating games for PS4. I wanted to ask:
Is it normal for most game companies (employers) to hire you while working at home? Meaning they don't care if you live in the other side of the globe, as long as you deliver the assets/work (as employee, not freelance).
If only few work this way. Which companies are those?
It really depends on the company itself and the size of it. Some of the major companies I applied team wanted me to relocate so I would be able to work in their office, I can see why as it's easier to do team work in an office. However this is something they would normally specify on their jobs page when looking. I personally work for my friends company, although we both live in the same city we're currently working remotely with people that are from all over the globe also.

I see. Finally, a couple of questions:
Where do you guys look for work and talent?
Which websites would you recommend for Devs looking to reach game companies for permanent / temporary work?
Thanks
