Hello, My name is Iqtidar Ali, and I am a 3D Animator hailing from Pakistan. While pursuing my passion in animation, I have encountered various challenges, particularly stemming from the fact that Pakistan is considered a third-world country. Despite my skills and dedication to the craft, I have found it exceedingly difficult to secure employment opportunities in first-world countries. The animation industry is fiercely competitive, and the barriers to entry seem insurmountable at times. Many companies are hesitant to hire individuals from outside their own country, creating a significant obstacle for someone like me who dreams of working on an international stage. In recent times, the challenges have only intensified. The industry has experienced significant layoffs, with thousands of professionals losing their jobs. This wave of layoffs has created an even more daunting job market, leaving me feeling like I'm fighting an uphill battle. Navigating through this period of uncertainty and limited opportunities has been incredibly challenging. Every rejection feels like a setback, and the dream of working in a first-world country feels increasingly distant. Despite the hardships, I remain steadfast in my pursuit of a career in animation. I continue to refine my skills, build my portfolio, and tirelessly search for any opportunity, no matter how remote it may seem. I am determined to overcome these obstacles and make my mark in the animation industry, regardless of where I am from. keep animating 😎
