Need some help on LinkedIn stuff:

1) I joined a series D startup in January 2021
2) Before that, I worked at a venture fund from April 2020-January 2021
3) pre VC, I worked at a startup that fired me in February 2020
4) left consulting to join startup in October

I’m meeting the COO of my current company in two weeks. He went to business school with the CEO of the startup that fired me.

My vote is to keep it on and address if it comes up. It’s a small world. You also don’t know if the COO has already seen your LinkedIn/resume in which you come off as deceitful.

Question: Should I take the startup that fired me off my LinkedIn? I was only there for 4-5 months. Given I was fired for performance, I don’t want the COO of my current company asking if I know the other CEO or anything

Keep experience off your resume/LinkedIn. You never worked there.

If it comes up, I would be honest and say what you’ve learned. No one is perfect. Startups have to move very quickly so being let go quickly is pretty common. What you learned is more important than what you did or didn’t do to get let go.

Keep it off imo

Will this be a hire to fire case?

Hello! I’d like to share an experience and hopefully receive guidance.

I spent two years as an executive, and while I was providing what I believe was impactful work, and receiving praises across the board, I got fired from one day to the other without any explanation.

After a few weeks, some managers (who were under me) shared that there had been a while campaign raised against me for a couple of months by others VPs and shareholders. 1/2

What advise do you have moving forward with a career. I left my employer after18 yrs in June. my boss was laid off before covid, they didnt post his job for 2 years.

Turns out they were pitching lies. They had no integrity and were incompetent. I left this month. I haven’t been out of a job 25 years. How do I pick myself back up?

I just got laid off recently as a contractor and I’m actively looking for new opportunities. I would like to get into account management for a tech company or business development, strategy work.

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!

Got an offer from an established (but disorganized, unstructured) startup. Cash comp is good (but not great - 30% paycut over my consulting pay) and was given equity worth a few millions @ a valuation of 3B. Problem is - I have absolutely no clue what this firm is worth at the moment. CEO says it’s currently worth at least 6B. It has good growth potential but I have no way of estimating the probability of this being materialized if and when a transaction occurs. How should I think about this?
