A comment on Ask HN: Advice for passing a FAANG background check with a criminal history.
Sounds like you technically were arrested.
> aren't allowed to use ... sealed court records against you
That's... basically what sealed means.
> California companies aren't allowed to use
Generally the law applies based on the employee's state of residence, not where the company is based.
Anyway... just answer their questions truthfully, but don't disclose anything about sealed records. I highly doubt they'll ask or care about arrests.
