Ask HN: Any felons successfully found IT work post-release?
29 by publicprivacy | 17 comments on Hacker News.
Hello HN, Does anyone have experience getting back into tech/startups post-felony? I have been looking for work since I was released for an assault charge in November 2022. Previously I worked in Information Security as a SecOps Eng, most recently at Tinder. Between lack of recent job experience, and my record, I have been through a series of offer reneges, recruiters ghosting me, or going into HR resume black holes. I am eager to get back into tech and feel like my old self adding value to a great team/org. Anyone have leads on companies that are open to taking chances on good candidates with less than sparkling backgrounds? NOTE: My offense was not computer/finance/fraud/selling drugs/physical violence/based at all.
