Conversely, a story from the opposite end of the extreme: Fresh out of college I got an interview at a company that made games. It was exactly what I wanted to do and I made it miraculously far given the fact that I had zero real world experience. I made it to round three but ultimately got rejected. Who did they hire instead? A friend who works at the company later told me that it was down to two candidates. It was me vs the guy who wrote the game engine they make all their games in.
