My experiences are all in IT as well, but are likely skewed as the security requirements for my current position require a lot deeper investigation that strangers on the internet not only couldn’t fulfill, but going that route would confidently cause me to lose my job due to not being able to pass the extensive background investigation. I’ve mostly writhed in federal government positions as a contractor so this experience is normal to me, when working in a position of trust, being paid out of tax dollars and with access/cognizance over sensitive systems that must be kept secure for the security of everyone, intrusive and through investigations are par for the course.
Glad you mentioned this. I need to do a post on the topic. Certain positions or fields don’t align with this community. I’ve seen positions like yours posted in certain threads, which makes me question the sanity of the poster. Fortunately, they are usually ignored or deleted. And from what I’ve seen, no service handles these positions as they are excluded in the terms. This type of community is geared towards entry and mid level positions. Most users, like you, understand this. I’ll post on this and ensure such requests are removed from the thread. Thanks for the input!
