No one checks. No one questions.

Any Fortune 500 company is going to check, particularly if you're aiming for a job in upper management.

And if you're working a government contract, you're almost certainly going to get a background check for any kind of security clearance.

Plenty of jobs outside of Fortune 500 garbage.
