Bigger lies work better. Go for Managing Partner

Not even close to worth it. A lot of jobs don’t really care about titles, just years of exp and responsibilities .

Embellishing experience is one thing, but lying about your title is a while different ballgame.

Google George O’Leary. Stupid shit on your resume can haunt you 20 years later. Just have the first bullet point on your current role be about acting in a manager role

I mean.. the year before promotion you do the job without the pay.. so rather than lie on the resume, just tell them lol

Once promotions are communicated you can put your new title and put in parentheses effective 10/01/18. Recruiters actually suggested it.

Haha. @OP - don’t worry, not all of us are as ethical as this lot. Here’s some real advice though: the risk/benefit of stating something that can be construed as being false or misleading is just not worth it. If they want an experienced manager they won’t go for you anyway. If they are looking for a 1st year you can talk up your management experience as an SC. Good luck bud

I don’t expect to hear back anything any time soon so figured if I do get interviews that I’d explain or something

So during background check....the firm gives your last title with the firm and dates you were employed. But that being said, if this is your only job they will likely not contact the firm, they might ask you for paystub to prove you work there and they will see your salary and they might be able to figure out that you are not a manager.

What are the best responses for “a time when you led a team” in a consulting interview, for someone who has not had a managerial position (1 yoe) before? I also don’t want to use an example from undergrad so I’m kind of stuck. What are they really looking for in this question? Initiative? Impact? People skills? And how would you differentiate this vs “a time when you worked in a team”

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
