Anyone ever lied about their job title while applying to give themselves a title bump and gotten away with it? Asking for a friend 😂

It’s this type of thinking that leads people to be content and mediocre at their job, and surprised when they’re laid off.

My advice is to build your self awareness. It will help you be aware of your weaknesses and improve your overall performance.

Ask yourself: are you *really* that good? How do you know you’re not just a time suck to your boss?

Make your boss’s life easy. And you’ll get that promotion without needing to lie.

You're supposed to be able to create a great sales pitch without going as far as lying. That is literally the whole point of what we do

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
