I was going through a whole process for this remote position where I had to verify if my device met their hardware requirements, and it doesn’t… meaning that the only thing preventing me from getting this job was literally just not having good enough equipment, as the hiring manager confirmed we would start the onboarding process immediately so long as my hardware met the requirements.

Ugh.

I usually would have a lot to say, but something feels extremely eerie about literally being this close. I can’t say much else.

The only way I can really undo this is to get a new PC within 30 days, which is not really an option for me, so I just gotta move on.

Update: Through some power settings, I manage to bump up the processor speed. I reached back out to the recruiter to see if we can proceed. I will let you all know how this goes.
