Anyone ever embellish or falsify their job title?

Breh you one of the most positive posters on here and generally only post helpful and knowledgeable stuff. But this is horrible advice. You are far better off cheating and lying and figuring it out once you finesse your way into position. This goes for a fast food job to the most corporate job. Mothafukkas got fake degrees and all that shyt. You generally gonna be getting underpaid if you don’t lie. Most these companies outsource they work verification to companies like Hireright anyway. And when they can’t verify something, the process is to reach out to the applicant to verify. That’s a real finessers dream. It’s so many people (most) that could be making way more money if they wasn’t so safe. A lot of people just do not understand that the game is not fair.

This is absolute truth. Do what you gotta do to get where you wanna get. And you don't have to go away from tech to be in project management. Or on there flip side you can go into those health/bio pharma sectors you mentioned with a tech background. If you can learn and speak to your experience about the applied position well enough 9.5/10 you gonna get training regarding said position when the company hires you so they can mold you to the way they like to do things. Even regarding your current position and job title, if you can paint the proper narrative on why there may be a discrepancy, then that won't even matter. Job titles from company to company vary so much anyway that it's tough for them to argue. Research the position you wanna transition to, study up on potential interview questions, and learn to apply your own work/life experiences to that field to the point you believe it yourself, then go out there and earn yourself a better future. Everybody else is

If you ain’t lying you ain’t trying. In terms of background checks. That shyt ain’t about nothing. They literally go off the information you provide them. Real background investigations cost a lot of money and take time, two things those recruiters don’t have a lot of.
