You are applying to a job, not the lottery.  According to your resume you have no professional experience, no hobbyist experience, no qualifications, you couldn&#8217;t follow simple instructions in the job descriptions, you have no code sample, and you want $70,000 to $120,000 in US dollars?  Whatever your teacher told you was wrong, maybe when you were taking notes you accidentally wrote an extra 0.  With what you&#8217;ve already shown me you&#8217;d never be hired for any price.  But lets ignore for the moment your bad spelling and grammar, total lack of qualifications, and disregard for the job post.  A junior programmer in the US 95% of the time STILL wouldn&#8217;t be able to find a job in the game industry at all.  If they did, they can  expect between $40,000 to $60,000.  Since you are not in the US, but India, you&#8217;re looking at between $5000 and $10,000.  Considering that this is a telecommuting position, you can knock another 20%.<\/p>\n<p>Consider this one of life&#8217;s hard lessons.  You can thank me later.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Email Interview excerpt.
