    I mean I agree with the general sentiment.

    However, I also understand the previous commenter’s reasoning (or not…I might be shoving words in their mouth).

    I think, especially in today’s world where basic technical competence is essentially a must, that in order to perform your job duties to a certain level of standard expected by your client or employer, you need to be able to perform basic technical problem solving. And I think this includes being able to figure out how to google “screen share, Windows”. And this includes many professions.

    Surgeon? Maybe not. I just want to have a good surgeon.

    But attorney and accountant? I would expect that if information needed to be shared with me, especially with urgency, that they would be able to confidently do so quickly, which may include setting up a quick zoom call (use Jitsi people!).

    So actually I disagree with you- I actually may screen out certain professions if they show they lack basic technical competence, like setting up a video call, or creating a spreadsheet.

      Googling ‘screen share, Windows’ takes longer than asking the people you are in a call with already though
