One quote in particular sticks out for me:<p>&quot;<i>Others said they were actively looking for their next jobs — a task made more difficult because of the taint of failure that potential employers sometimes associate with anyone at the struggling company.</i>&quot;<p>For those with experience hiring, do you find this to be generally true? Would it really count as a black mark to have worked at a &quot;failing&quot; or &quot;struggling&quot; company, independent of your own experience&#x2F;skills&#x2F;accomplishments or would it really depend on the situation&#x2F;candidate? I realize this isn&#x27;t a black&#x2F;white question and is likely more of a gray area.
