It's funny when you worked alongside the person doing exactly the same role.

mine, and most of my former associates are accurate.
but you can't really bull sh*t engineering

Sadly lots of people have fantasy job history on LinkedIn, and many of them make it to high ranks on the back of it.shows how poor the recruitment process is in most places.

yeah, can think of a few people I have worked with on different projects over the years, if you look at their linkedin profiles it bares no resemblance to what they were actually doing.

creative/design agencies often have director as a job title. Doesn't mean they are a company director, basically a head of role.

Sounds like my brother.

Got a mate who lists his previous roles and pretty much every one lists him as director, managing director, owner etc.

[Hobosapien]

Is your mate in investment banking ? I know that JP Morgan for example has 10,000+ directors and 50,000+ vice-presidents. It must be a bureaucratic nightmare these days. Yes they give their slaves inflated titles for inflated egos so they can boast at dinner parties etc. that's all.

That probably explains why my current clientco has recently had quite a number of new directors appear on the management structure. Didn't twig until now that it didn't mean they are company directors, so just a fluffy job title instead of a pay rise.

I will keep an eye out for one of these new directors in the car park. Director of traffic.

Taking over the project shortly before go-live and trying to apply copious amounts of Mr Sheen to the steaming pile that has been left on the carpet.
