Not a LinkedIn post but need some advice.Talking to a guy whose bumble profile says that he graduated out of Columbia in 2020 and he’s a product manager in tech. But on text he said, he’s looking to get into grad school. So I decided to stalk his LinkedIn. His LinkedIn says that he works as a project manager in non profit and his education says Columbia university - executive education. That’s not a degree right? I would’ve been ok to go see him but his entire bumble profile is a lie

I work at a 40 person company and about 35 went to the same very highly regarded school. 5 of us (including me) went to an easier school but 2nd in the state. The majority likes to make fun of us, like a 45 year old dude still making college hate jokes.But it’s always fun to remember we ended up in the same place making the same money. And they worked so much harder for it.

Who else here feels like the entire restaurant industry deserves an overhaul?

I’m 1.5 months delayed in getting my recommender a gift, what should I get him? I got into CBS but I don’t want to tell him the news before giving his gift for fear of sending the message of “hey I got in, so now I’m grateful and here’s a gift”. Do I send the gift, then tell him I got into CBS a few days later?

Potentially dumb question but should I include a “tech & relevant skills” section on my resume like I would for job searching?
