I think this guy will have no problem getting hired. Being conscious enough to push code online works so much better than the CV preparation courses. You know you're on the right path when you are asked to play up your CV abstract than to downplay it.

Personally, I would have a hard time hiring anyone without a Github account and less so working in a place where nobody has one.

To me a Gitlab account, instead, would signify superior judgment.
Not if you want your work to be discovered.
Only the best will discover it.
Getting downvoted, but this is no more arbitrary, myopic, and unfair to the applicant than the parent.
The Microsoft Defense Force has been activated.

Despite it, my statement remains true: I do, in fact, adjudge candidates the more favorably for a Gitlab account than a Github account. It demonstrates conscious choice in a knee-jerk world.

(Microsoft doesn't need your assistance, boiz.)

If I ever got minus points for using github rather than gitlab in an interview, I think my opinion of the workplace would be that they would rather focus on minute details rather than actual problem solving and social skills.
You would have no idea whether you got minus points for failing to make the jump to Gitlab.
You say that proudly? You'll judge a developer based on petty preferences, and then not do them the favor of telling them as much?

Must be a blast working there...

Yep. I put all my new stuff on GitLab. It's just a better tool. Especially it's issue-tracking and CI (even considering actions)

I just link my GitLab very obviously on my GitHub
