There were 3 months between me losing my job and joining the games industry back in 2022 where I applied for a bunch of jobs.
Just received an update three years later saying they’ve decided to move forward with someone else.

All of this is ridiculous but ‘giving back to community eg volunteering’ is beyond absurd.
