Not that I've ever been here to jones for free music gear handouts, but I will relay a real world story to illustrate a point.

A few years back I was technical director on a project I was staffing for (this was a six figure USD position), and a resume landed in my inbox from a guy I knew from about 8 years back who had recently been laid off and was looking for work. I silently shitcanned his resume because I remembered what a primadonna prick he was to work with. He missed the opportunity but he never directly felt the pain, and I suspect got a different job that took a few months to realize the mistake they made hiring him.

My point is that even if it impacted or hindered your career in large amounts, you would never be aware of the root cause. Opportunity cost is something nobody will ever send you a printed invoice for.

Not telling you how to manage your career, but it is always & unconditionally better to not burn bridges professionally, especially in the entertainment industry.
