Yes, it’s possible some/most posts are fake

Why?
To get likes and attention, or simply advertisement by HR recruiters or even referral bonus. If I post I got 400% hike in ZS, ppl may apply that serves my purpose

Another reason is that some people like to see world burn. They will lie. Like a guy saying that he has girl friend while he is single. Or some posting photoshopped pics to make others jealous while being miserable themselves.

Another factor to consider is ignorance/illiteracy. These people compare the offered CTC with their InHand post tax salary. This is true as many folks on this bowl don’t know how to calculate in hand salary and ask others

Yep, people share offer letter screenshots citing packages upward of 30 lacs per annum and aren’t able to calculate their in hand salary.

Ye wahi log hain jo stack overflow pe friend se answer dhoondwa ke samajhte hain.

If organisations start seeing this, they might start taking aptitude test as round 1 of interview. 😄

Some of the posts may be fake but not all. I personally know Many people who have got huge hikes ranging from 200% to 400%. But the point is their current ctc was on the lower side. They all have around 4-5 yoe. So yeah, such hikes are definitely within reach if you're not too senior and if your cctc is not already high.

It is possible. You say what will anyone get from that.

What does one get from social media? Why does one monitor likes and comments on their posts?

Maybe it's just for validation.

However I've found that some the stories have been inspirational and helpful for me, so I do continue to use the app. It's your prerogative if you want to use it. A knife can be used to cut and apple or to inflict harm. It's upto us how we decide to use it.

Similarly this app can be helpful or not. One may seeks advice, referrals and the motivation here. I do for sure.

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here.
