all y'all still trash

had a recruitment agent message me on linked a couple days ago. turns out that the hedge fund i wrote about in my last post, still has not found anyone in London that is competent or knows anything about computers and IT. Everyone in London is still trash. 

This firm know lots about computers because they are running Hyper-V in 2024, and are only this year starting the process of migrating to Vsphere. the interviewer even mentioned they were having trouble with the migration of VMs. Clearly this clown has not heard of Vmware converter, which makes it so easy and seamless whenever i have used it to migrate VMs or convert physical servers to VM. Maybe he cant get it working or does not of its existence and is trash. 

I have heard it with my own ears where a senior techie at a firm I used to work at and who has attained a certain status and position, deliberately sabotaged interviews with candidates. He would walk back to his desk gleefully telling the rest of the table that he had 'barbecued' another candidate, which was a bit rich coming from someone who i heard explain how he thought single instance storage was implemented in MS Exchange but it was completely wrong. clearly he had never read about how it worked and was just making shit up. 
A bit rich coming from someone whose misconfiguration of a windows server caused an outage of the Exchange messaging system because its time went out of sync as time settings were not configured correctly and the whilst some VM guest and were getting time settings from Vcenter other physical servers were getting it from their own BIOS clocks. He would ask candidates obscure random shit they he would google, but clearly had no idea what function or usefulness NTP servers served amongst servers in a network. 

I dont know but i suspect something similar is happening at this place as well.
