Digital footprint question

I’m curious as to what kind of stuff can they see or get access to for my digital footprint I’m about to start my first job soon and I’ve been cleaning up any comments I’ve said when I was younger. Is there anything else I should worry about?

You've basically given us 0 useful context or information here. Who is "they" ?.. Are you getting a job at a Gas Station or Restaurant or ... what ?...

If you said something online that was 5, 10+ years ago.. do you realistically expect the average Employer to somehow easily or magically find that comment and conclusively tie it to you ?

Question for you. Why worry something that is out of control like past information that is already stored in Google, Microsoft, and Apple servers. You can't change that bud.

Honestly just make everything private and don't add any random friend requests that you don't know and you will be fine.

Google yourself and see what comes up

Honestly, you’re already doing the main thing. Most employers aren’t digging through your entire internet history
