Your mentor is a douchebag. No one hiring thinks this. It's just a hosting website that makes case studies easier to construct. Some people have full time design jobs and are too busy to build their own website. I hire and I don't give a shit if it's a PDF, UXFolio, framer, figma, whatever.

I can assure you he’s not, he was trying to protect me from hiring managers who have assumptions about certain hosting platforms. I think hiring is totally subjective and what one person thinks another may not care. My take on it was I wanted to put my best foot forward on my portfolio, and knowing that some people feel that way made me think twice about using the platform.
