I’ll help you out.

I got arrested for drug possession and CHARGED with a felony. My lawyer plead it down to a misdemeanor, probation, dismissed case after probation, so now I legally say I have never been convicted of a crime.

I was 18 when all that happened.

I got jobs at PWC and amazon. As well as tech startups.

Don’t have experience with DUI or anything but assume would be considered similar to non violent drug possessions in personal use quantity.

Just noticed you work at Booz. I don’t know how they hold criminal records against you for security clearances, but I think for IT, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal compared to government work and security clearances which are a different ball game

So...if it is a felony then you won’t be hired in consulting. But if dropped down to a misdemeanor, then maybe.

Agree. Not judging, but a felony may have interstate implications they don’t want to entertain- assuming the roll requires travel

Heard this from a person I was interviewing with recently and can't stop thinking about it: "And this role can be 100% remote, so you won't have to worry about moving." I've waited at least a decade to hear something so simple and yet so magical.
