No, I don’t care to hold your hand and explain to you the whole idea of an industry preferring you have a specific piece of technology over others and how finding out you have that piece of technology helps you get work. You’ll have to figure that one out for yourself.
Let me introduce you to a little thing called media production workflow, where there are over 500 different file formats in active use, and getting it right forms the basis of most links in a chain hundreds of links long.
You start sending me botched files with the wrong codecs and see if I don’t find another subcontractor immediately.
A PC will run circles around a Mac for half the price, what are you talking about? They require you to use a Mac for some reason?
Please spec out a PC with similar hardware to a Mac and half the cost.
Okay. How about a 7800x3d and a 4080? EZPZ.
It’s called an industry standard. You have heard of those before, I presume.
Of course I have. But standards are not necessarily mandatory. Would you care to elaborate on this “standard” you speak of?

Seems highly unlikely that an employer cares terribly about what kind of hardware you use. All they care about is the end result.

So you’re getting botched files and that is the fault of the operating system? 🤔
Maybe. You think I’m getting ProRes RAW files from your Win11/Premiere rig? Fired.
I have no idea. That’s what I’m asking. You mentioned “botched” files but now you’re moving the goalposts to proprietary file formats?
Well you clearly know my industry better than I do, so I’ll defer to your expert knowledge.
