Applying to jobs and I’m paranoid about my personal email address… is it an issue or am I too online? ***[email protected]

Basically as the title says I’m concerned about my email address and wanted to take the temperature of folks looking at applications whether it’s an issue or not when considering applicants.

My email address is a combination of my first and last name, followed by “88” which is my birth year and number in high school football.

The past several years I’ve become aware of the connotation of 88 and its links to nazism and the far right… connotations that I abhor and do not support in any way, full stop.

Im worried that in today’s political environment, hiring managers might judge that number and immediately disregard my application. I’ve spoken to a handful of my friends and colleagues irl and they all dismissed it, but they are people who know me and can easily surmise that I’m not a far right troll. I’m wondering how a bunch of internet strangers think?

I’ve been hired previously with the same address, I’m just now applying for higher level positions in more professional business environments and non profit/advocacy organizations.

I’m really curious to hear what people think about “88” and if it ellicits any immediate negative reactions.

Thanks,

TLDR: have the number 88 in email. Not a Nazi, is that an issue or more of a terminally online perception.
