SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'hjobs.region_user' doesn't exist (SQL: select `region_id` from `region_user` where `user_id` is null)
Model User:
public function regionsToWork(){
return $this->belongsToMany(Region::class);
}
public function industriesToWork(){
return $this->belongsToMany(Industry::class);
}
AuthController:
$user = new User();
$user->name = $data['name'];
...
$user->regionsToWork()->sync($data['region'], false);
$user->industriesToWork()->sync($data['industry'], false);
$user->save();
Tables DB: USER:

user_id;
industry_id;

user_id;
region_id;

It looks like the pivot table name is different than what it's expecting, region_user as opposed to user_region.
You can manually specify the pivot table name in your belongsToMany method like this:
return $this->belongsToMany(Region::class, 'user_region');
