London is a desert

so about 5 weeks ago i interviewed for a hedge fund who then did not call me back in and quite rightly so given that they run Hyper-V in 2024 and some obscure on prem storage system that i heard of once about 15 years ago which nobody runs. y'all trash. 

Also despite the job description claiming they wanted someone with AWS or Azure knowledge and other related tech like Terraform and Kubernetes, they guy interviewing me asked zero questions about them. i now suspect they only included those cloud requirements because without them the job description would look like it was from 2008. 

anyways, a few days ago i get a message from a recruiter saying he is hiring for a job at a hedge fund, and sends me the exact same job description. evidently every single candidate that was interviewed in the preceding 5 weeks, including myself, was trash and London is a desert of talent. 

fucking timewasters at these firms using the recruitment process to gauge the level of talent and then boosting their own egos by telling themselves that there is no one that reaches their exceptional standards and skill levels. i recall he asked me a question. 

It says on your CV you have used Vsphere v6.5 and v8. How come you you not used v7?. 

Err...because none of the firms i worked at happened to use v7. At my last job we went from 6.5 to 8 and in the role before that we were at v6.5. I dont v7 is fundamentally that different from v6.5 or v8 from an operation level. 

hhhmmmmm!!!!!. 

you run Hyper-V in 2024 for fuck sake and you are asking me why i have not supported VSphere7!!!. i have used and have taken the certification for v3, v3.5, v4, v5, v6, and have used v 6.5 and v8 while you were and are still running Hyper V. what versions of vmware and which certifications in it have you got you mate?. according to your linkedin certifications list you have listed none!!! along with no certification or experience in terraform or linux or kubernetes or AWS or Azure or docker or..... 

keep running your on-prem windows shit and keep telling yourself that anyone who has not used Vsphere7 is trash and not up to your exceptional technical standards. keep wasting peoples time and keep protecting your salary and position by making sure you hire someone that might not one day start talking about things you have no fucking clue about. 

got back from holiday yesterday. forgot to collect one of the suitcases from the carousel in arrivals and then exited. had to stay behind in the airport from an hour and managed to get let back in to baggage hall to collect it. absolutely knackered.
