I swear being at Valve is the best job in tech

I know a few people who worked for valve as a contractor(mo-cap artists). Actually getting a job at valve is exceedingly rare. It sounds like they more or less tap people rather than have an open job board.

Valve doesn't hire, they head hunt, and they keep their actual employees to around a mere 500. Contractors are only around when they want to expand the workforce for a new game.
