Laura Said:

Will a position in QA with a game company help me further my career in software development?

We Answered:

The paycut will be hard, but it sounds like this job may have other benefits. If you're interested in working in gaming, it's really great to already have contacts in the industry.

In any case, QA is closer to your likely career goals than what you're doing now. If I were hiring a new CS graduate, I'd definitely prefer one who's had some experience in the difficult world of QA over somebody with no software experience.
