One of the later more modern uses of a heat pump is a heat pump water heater where it takes the Heat out of the air and pumps it into the water.
I installed one and it dropped my power build by almost $30 a month even though I went from a 55-gallon hot water heater to an 80-gallon water heater.
I think the issue is finding a use for that heat energy that makes sense. Generating electricity with it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but heating water so that you spend less energy heating water does.
Like, I’m sorry if you’re not cheating in interviews, you’re fucking yourself over.
If you’re not the top person in your Ivy League class with a 5.7 GPA Being scouted by the big leagues in your field, then you should be cheating and doing everything you can to get every single advantage for yourself that you possibly can.
Otherwise the companies you’re applying for are just going to fuck you over as hard as they believe they can get away with.
You may not like it, but that’s capitalism, baby, and the sword of damocles cuts in both directions.
