I've heard first hand from academics who have this problem.
It's less of a problem if a) you're doing something more applied/normal, like software development, where you can just have a conversation or work some problems to demonstrate ability; or b) you're happy with working for gov't contractors (and don't want to e.g. return to academia).

The conversation couldn't include anything really interesting. Hell, my resume couldn't contain anything really interesting so I rarely got the conversation in the first place. I have been gone for 3.5 years, but I still have that problem because the work I did then is what I want to do, and the work I'm doing now (Java-based NLP) was the escape. I can only given detailed information about what I do now, though, which skews everyone into thinking I'm a Java or ML developer. :/
- nmrm2 11y agoAh, I stand corrected. Sorry to hear that :-( This is one concrete way that something like Intelexit could actually make a difference -- find companies who are willing to hire people with intel backgrounds.
