Yep! I wish it was more socially acceptable :)


I know some companies build a separate IT entity to have a more socially acceptable front for their employees.


Seriously! I think it wouldn't be hard getting a job after wards, but the real challenge would be explaining it to the missus! :)


Pron doesn't have that much of a negative stigma attached to it when it comes to the tech industry. At least none that I've experienced. I do admit that I use the holding company's name on my resume/linked in profile but I always disclose pretty early on what it was just to make sure. If they have a problem with it I don't want work for them anyways.

Also, you try to stop saying the word hard after working in the adult business....everyone snickers when they know where you've worked. ;-)


It isn't the tech industry's view I'd be worried about. It would just get tiresome having to explain that while I work at a porn site doesn't mean I watch porn all day when telling others what I do.


I'd be worried about being the next Saeed Malekpour.


Haters gonna hate. Ignore the people who tell you you're stupid. Us geeks have been picked on for years.
