I typically stick to a couple lines on the job / industry overall, or a few people I know also list out projects

For example, “M&A consultant in the financial services industry, advising clients across the deal continuum, from pre-deal due diligence to post-close deal integration...xyz. Select project experience includes: abc”

This way, it’s enough to attract a conversation / throw in some buzzwords without showing all your cards

What the heck F (following)means. Can’t you just subscribe to the post.
OP: it does help specifically if you put the key words for the roles you are looking for. Also use open to opportunity settings

I know you both are very learned fellas.

The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
