Can/do employers actually verify metrics you list on your resume (e.g. “improved adoption rate by 30% over XYZ….)? I find myself struggling to come up with real numerical metrics for my bullet point. Meanwhile, everyone is telling me to include as many metrics are possible to show better/more impact.

No, but your metrics should be believable and you should be prepared to defend them.

I've been working at this company for about 3.5 weeks now. Its been great so far.

We have an org chart in our dashboard ATS/HRIS and so I clicked on my first day buddies name just for fun.

I was able to see her entire employee file..even her address. I was really freaked out and I went to another profile and the same thing happened, I was able to see this person's emergency contact. Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

Was recently offered a job in Hawaii that would be a much larger role than I currently have (deputy chief architect).

Do you think it’s worth giving up quality of life/spending value decrease to accept the larger career and possibly expedite my career progression?
