My friend who got me my current job once told me about how he got into the Games industry. Back in the university days of applying to Coop positions he had a day with 2 interviews back to back. While he bombed the first interview, he had some excellent interviewers who were happy to show him where he did poorly and guide him through the problems to the correct answers. On the second interview, they used the same questions and he got the job. Now? He runs his own studio. After spending ~10 years in various positions at AAA and Indie studios he's out doing it on his own, and best as I can tell he's doing a damn good job of it. I won't doxx him, but he's got his name under several highly regarded releases. Am I conflicted with the idea of cheating interviews? Perhaps a bit. But knowing a brilliant mind like him just needed the guidance to get through a terrible practice to show his true talent? I'm happy he was fortunate to be able to ""cheat"" in the way he did. I wish him all the best.
