Re:Ask HN: Will a FAANG resume one day be the equivalent of ... by muzani on Monday October 25, 2021 @04:31AM (#28985665)
My dad was a manager of an Enron-linked company. It never really hurt his job prospects, and was actually viewed really highly. He was investigated and found clean. In fact, he took on a lot of debt trying to clean up the mess, which a lot of people admired.

Similarly I know a guy who worked at WeWork. He tried to change things for the better and was ultimately ostracized and fired for it. But he's a good guy and his story clicks.

I think you'll definitely land jobs with such golden stains on your resume, but you'll have to address the elephant in the room - did you make things better or worse?
