What method did you use to get your first job?
Joined a programming agency run by a friend of my father. I did poorly on the technical interview, had bad grades, but the boss knew that I made games and went to a really good school so they took a chance on me.
Just for the sake of more complete information: what year did you get your first job?
2012. Would that be a big difference?
