Why do people put “Ex-McKinsey” “Ex-Google” etc. in their LinkedIn title line? It makes me cringe.

I noticed a lot of Indians do the IIT | Google Ventures | Goldman format, which really translates to IIT | Google Ventures | Goldman | Haven’t really accomplished anything so just keep job hopping | unable to come up with what a summary of what I actually do | just copying everyone else. Then their profile starts with “accomplished product lead with demonstrated success in the tech industry...”

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

I am terrible at withholding salary information from recruiters. Yesterday a recruiter gave the line “I would hate for us to get to the end of the interview process only for it to turn out that we couldn’t give the salary you would need” so I panicked and threw out a number that was thirty percent higher than my current pay. He then told me the salary range which was way higher! Do you really just firmly repeat “I need to learn more about the team and benefits before I can assign a number?”
