In this episode Matt Kelly and I take a deep dive into a fascinating paper from Harvard Business School. Boris Groysberg and George Serafeim, worked with a global recruitment firm, to study more than 2,000 executive-level job placements from 2004 to 2011, examining a wide range of job placements and pay data since 2004. They found that the stigma of listing a discredited company on your resume, even if you had nothing to do with the misconduct there, leads recruiters at your next employer to pay you less.
