Yep. Nepotism trumps everything, and I’ve been on both ends of it.
I’ve had a job, team lead wants an addition to that team, screens nearly 100 people over 6 weeks, she asks me if I can recommend anyone… I think about it for a bit and well I do know one person who might be interested? I text her (my friend) about it and …she’s hired in a week.
I’ve also been in unemployment hell after becoming disabled, spending literally a full 40 hours a week for a year, getting a grand total of 3 interviews, one of which landed me a job.
The system is completely broken and full of bullshit and liars.

What are you using for game dev?
Right now just brainstorming, toying around with concepts.
Too poor to live somewhere thats internet capable.
Cellphone hotspot maxes out at 5gb per month, pretty hard to do much actual work.
When I said poverty, I meant it.
But at the same time, I also meant it when I said haven’t been this happy in a very long time.
I’ve had quite a lot of idiot, backstabbing, gaslighting partners, friends and family, as well as ludicrously dysfunctional working environments.
Its very nice to just do basically nothing other than exist and not have people screaming at me and gaslighting me and threatening me all the time.
