I hate that I'm saying this but I'm very "white passing" (no one things I'm Persian) and usually go by an English first name, only remembering my legal first name when I do legal stuff.
Is this gonna screw me over for being an ALT? I usually apply to American jobs with my preferred name and then tell them about my legal name before I sign a contract. Am I overthinking or should I do anything possible to get approved with my preferred name then pull out my legal one last min?
