Well, that was a waste of time

luckykaaHad an interview.
Games company in Ealing. Well, I'd told the agent what my minimum rate was so presumably they'd pay it but that actually seems highly unlikely. They wanted a gameplay programmer. They didn't even seem all that intereted in anyone particularly skilled. They wanted me to do a C++ test, so I nitpicked (yes, you can have a NULL C++ reference. "When would you use recursion"? "Never").
I'm not even convinced they were interviewing for a contractor. They didn't mention much about the job and seemed more interested in what I want to do which seems odd if it is a contract. And I realy don;t think I came over that well. I sold myself well on skills but I was way too arrogant. But that's because I really don't care.
Feel the most useful part of today was listening to a couple of hours of an audiobook.
Curiously, I also got a request for an interview from Rockstar. Why is is still all games companies? And why did it take them over 3 months to reply?
