    When I was applying for sound design and music job for video games, like 15 years ago, they regularly made me design 50+ sound effects and compose like 6 tracks just to never get back to me. One time, they even made me program a whole ass interactive car engine sound plugin.

    And you don’t want to hear about academic and arts call. “Please send us a 12 pages document with description, technical implementation data, a detailed realisation timeline, and 16 references of previous projects.

If you’re lucky enough so that we read your project, you even might receive a generic rejection letter from us.”
