How acceptable is it to customize role title on resume? As in, if its okay to say “Product Manager and Consultant” / “Product Management Consultant” vs official tittle of just Consultant? Consultant alone doesn’t say much and I’ve been designing web/mobile apps for a few years so the customization is apt, not BS.

Would you be embarrassed or panicked if they called you out on it based on a background check?

If yes, then don’t do it. If no, then do it.

It’s fine if you do it as an add-on. So if you’re a consultant only put “Consultant - Digital Product Management” or something. You’ll only run into issues if you flat out lie and they decide to verify with your prior employer using your resume. I was a product manager and BA for some banks so for my title I just add which sales and trading business I worked on to help myself standout. The majority of people reading resumes spend ~1min per resume on average so something small like this can help.

I would put the official titttle and be intentional in my description of the role.

I would put Product Management Consultant. It communicates your role with the proper title. Product Manager can be misleading if PM & Consultant

Hello friends. I’ve been in IB for a little over a year now and I’m looking to move to a role in real estate because I just find it more interesting. This is a pretty broad ask so all comments are appreciated - what kinds of roles are out there (PM? Acq? AM?). How is the work life balance (hrs/week). What is comp like? Any recommendations for firms in the broader multifamily space?
