Mr. Hands

Two weeks ago, I stepped into the very fancy office of one of the world's best-known gaming companies. At their invitation, I had an interview with them. What happened was that I circumvented the typical recruiting process by poking the Tech Director's inbox directly. He was very excited to meet with me. I had an hour-long interview with two of their programmers, then had lunch with the team, and finally discussed contract details with HR. "Oh, this should be easy," smiled the HR representative. "Contracts under €1 million require a lot less paperwork." Four days later, I had an offer in my inbox. Chat, I suspect I might finally be what we in the biz refer to as "hot shit."
