Has this ever happened to you? What do you do?

An ex-coworker has a post the pops up in my LinkedIn feed. I try to remember how I know them and scroll through their profile to see where we worked together. Then you get to that part of their career history and see that made up a role and title they never had…and never existed.

What do you do next?

I mind my own business because a company will run a background check to validate titles are aligned. And the interview itself will gauge readiness.

Good point. Let karma run its course.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
