I also went to prison and have a felony conviction.
My suggestion to your father is to work for smaller firms or move to a state where background checks are shunned like California.
I did not have a single background check my entire duration living in San Francisco.
- siliconvict 6y agoTacking onto this, once your father's reputation is big enough even a felony conviction won't stop him from being hired at top places. I've had offers at Google/Apple. I've worked for the Federal Avation Administration. I've been on a leadership team who's raised from A16Z. I've been through IPOs. I've gotten jobs in London and Tokyo. Sure, it's extra paperwork when you have to explain that you're a felon, but once he's got a reputation, companies will foot the legal bill for him to join.
