I normally post under a different name, which you can find by looking at my posting history, specifically, this thread. I need to keep the search somewhat secret, so I’m adding a trivial barrier to identifying me.
Putting that at the top of this post doesn’t create much of a barrier. If someone is looking for you and stumbles on this post, they will read the first few sentences. The bottom, where a reader is more likely to skimming, or the comments seem like a better place.
Ah, I see. Still, it seems a trivial inconvenience to move that sentence to the bottom or the comments for an increase in protection, albeit I’m not sure how much of an increase it will be.

Also, good luck on your job search!
The idea is that someone searching on the poster’s real name would not even find this post in the first place.

Bingo. That’s the threat model I was defending against.
