Why do so many people lie about their level/job title on LinkedIn? It’s annoying and even if it’s for better exit opportunities, once you get to an interview they’ll see through the BS.

The only thing that shows up during a bg check of your job is your title and tenure. The interview is not guaranteed to determine any lies. And people lie because it's proven that liars get ahead 🤷🏾‍♂️

I guess. I’m start to see that most people in consulting are incredibly insecure, otherwise they wouldn’t feel the need to lie about their job title.

Why do you care so much?

I agree with OP. I work for a small startup (~50 people) and one of my peers wrote that they ‘lead and direct the entire team’s research efforts’, as well as adding a Senior title to their role - both things are not true. Seems really unethical to me and grinds my gears. What can someone actually do about it? How is it any different than lying about test scores or credentials (which is fraud)...

Have a chat with a recruiter coming up early next week around a Business Strategy Director role at Salesforce. Its in their Customer Success Group.

I am sure the recruiter is going to ask the “salary expectations” question so can anyone at Salesforce (past or present) tell me what the rough salary range for this role is ? Also, if you have any insight into the interview process, please let me know!

Thanks a bunch!
