I don’t think there would be serious implications, but be prepared to get a bunch of shit from your coworkers. We had a guy update his LinkedIn the same day as year-end discussion (promotion didn’t go into effect for another 3 months) and we had a field day.

You are not a Senior as of today so it’ll only look immature. You can also not put it on your resume yet since background check will catch your lie

If somebody calls the firm to confirm your resume, what do you think the firm will say? You know there answer to your own question, you’re just hoping somebody will tell you otherwise

Nobody cares about your linkedin profile. You are still small fish. No offense.

Suprising (in a sad way) that the replies thus far are close to balanced. A little in favor of "dont do it."

Easy for someone else to tell you to take a risk. The bottom line is that it wouldn't be accurate or honest. In any profession and especially in this profession, honesty and integrity are at the core.

There is no debate on this one. It's wrong. It's a lie. Simply dont do it.

Character counts!

I would wait. You can let recruiters know that you are making senior on October 1.

I would just wait - future employers will understand the promo time frame and just tell them verbally. They likely care more about years of experience than anything else. Explaining “rising senior” or saying that your a senior when not truly being one yet is lame.

HELP! Company wants me to move to the US for a Remote role - Is this reasonable? Hi, I'm moving through the stages for a Remote US role as a Canadian candidate. They mentioned if I were to be offered, expectation is I'd move to the US. I find this odd as the role is Remote but guess it's legal purposes. Good thing is, this comp also has a Canandian office BUT they said bringing me on through the Canadian office is not smth they do.

Is this reasonable?? How can i best negotiate? Thx!
