That's where the person who knows how to set up a VirtualBox VM running Windows and VS would have a large advantage; when they brought in the result, showing their MBP running VS in a virtualized manner, and explained what they had to do - that's a bit more of an impression than someone who says "they can't do it because MBP".
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoYou can actually run Windows just fine on a mac using bootcamp. The big problem is just getting a legit Windows license, and then the hurdle is just a few hundred bucks (or whatever a non-OEM non-upgrade license costs these days). Also, I'm nowhere near ops jobs, so I don't think those people interviewing me would care much about those kind of logistics (anyways, they wouldn't want to know the details). It wouldn't score any "points" beyond just getting the task done at all.
