Why do senior folk (typically in leadership roles) truncate their experience at junior levels on LinkedIn to only feature the highest title that they achieved during their tenure at x agency?  

E.g. 6 years as an Account Director, despite it being their first gig in advertising/ever.

If they've been around pre-linkedin probably a pain to have to fill in each date for each position when they can "round up" older experience

I think it’s one part laziness at the prospect of writing out all their titles and one part not fully understanding how LinkedIn works when they signed up.

In three comments, this discussion devolved from "ageism is a bitch" to older people don't understand how LinkedIn works.

As you get more senior or your career trajectory changes, your older job responsibilities and experience can become irrelevant to your current position, so you start to condense your details and omit stuff. Otherwise, your profile looks like a big mess.

I’m old. Back in the day LinkedIn didn’t let you list multiple titles at one company, it was a whole separate entry for the same company. My assumption is because it took up a lot of space and no one bothered to go back and fix it once they made the change that nests multiple rolls under one company
