Has anyone got dinged for title discrepancy when doing a background check? I’m a little nervous because I was hired as a senior project/program manager but the title showing on the employment letter is lead consultant. Is that a big deal?

So you listed yourself as a senior manager in the resume but the official title was a lead consultant?

Mention it to the recruiter. I'm a Product Manager in industry, however my title is listed as a Senior Consultant, Process Management in Workday. Should be no big deal.

I’d be at least a little bit suspicious. Ask!

I never really understood this. My internal title that would show up on a background check is like financial analyst II, it just applies to pay band, I don’t even know what APR stands for.

Hello Fishes,

I'm currently serving my notice period. LWD is on 06-Sep. My manager said that he will try for an onsite opportunity with other projects like the UK or europe as he doesn't have any onsite (US) opening in the current project. Yesterday he said he found a UK project having an onsite opportunity and said that the respective manager will contact.

I'm holding an offer for 26LPA with 8.5 YOE with product based company.

I really confused to make a decision. Pls help

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them.

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
