As someone that is on the recruiting team, just letting you know, if you came from this old region, there is a talked about stigma. Saving you time. Don’t bother applying to any roles. Take that for what you will. It su-ks but it is what it is. So many people rubbed the wrong way 3 years ago won’t hire you. Sorry.
For the record, I’m about to bounce from this BS. Figured I would get it out.
