My suggestion? Be as COMPLETELY neutral as you can just to avoid problems and have your good intentions go badly.
I'm sure many on here have been on the "other side" (I pulled 3 years (going on 11 I'm front-facing roles) and am moving to Orlando specifically for a gig.
I love, appreciate and know you're intent. Others won't, so you just gotta be cautious. Or, just don't care but you do.
