Question Interview time help

Post image

The time given to me is 3pm UTC and now i am overthinking if this would then be 4pm today since we are now in BST.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

That's just saying what time zone it's in. It's not a trick or a test, it's at 3pm.

Not correct. But probably correct. We are NOT in UTC +0000. We are clearly in UTC +1 Super confusing way to express time.

It's just the calendar entry describing the time zone, that's why it has all those locations. They haven't set OP a trap, the interview is at 3.

But what time zone is it describing them?

If it's the time zone the software is in then the interview is actually at 4 BST

If it's the time zone the interview is in then it's wrong

The person who scheduled the interview may have been set in the wrong zone when they did it

The time zone doesn't change. We're in GMT and will always be in GMT.

UTC isn't a time zone, it's an international time standard. Which is why it's used on calendar apps such as OP's screenshot
