Question on if PIP will affect your further employment at a bank

I used to work in a back office role at an investment bank, but was put on the Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). Then I quit right after that and chose to go to business school, hoping to recruit for IB Asso role. Will the PIP affect my recruitment? And will it affect me recruiting for IB at that same bank?

Nope won’t matter. I was put on PIP, bailed on my bank for a competitor, was rehired with a promotion by the bank which put me on PIP. Ignore my title, I am a director now.
