My job literally has HR advisors that search your name through all the major social media sites and build webs of accounts created by individual users. You don’t even disclose your socials because they’ll have them already…
School taught me that writers and artists had pen names for a reason, and reality has persistently shown that nothing has changed in that regard. If anything, it has become even more of a prerequisite.
