Got contacted by the recruiter, she was friendly and everything. It was an entry level position so i made it clear I didn't have any experience in game development and she reassured me that they were basically looking for someone with a solid coding background so I moved forward. I got scheduled for an interview with a Senior who started asking questions about game development until he said that there are candidates with gaming experience that are a better fit. It's the well known policy -let's hire someone with experience for an entry level position and salary. What a waste of my time
