    They asked me how well I understood theoretical physics. I said I had a theoretical degree in physics. They said welcome aboard.

      I remember once borrowing a friend’s MBA textbook to see what it was all about. I opened to a random page which turned out to be in a chapter on negotiating strategies. There was an offset bit of text that read “your skill at negotiating will affect the outcome of the negotiations.”

    My unpopular opinion (and I’ll eat the downvotes) is that CV fraudsters don’t get prosecuted nearly enough.

    It’s not just faceless billionaire companies you’re fucking over, it’s the other candidates who actually put in the effort to become competent at the job you lied to get.

    I’ll never get my head around the popularity of the idea that lying on a CV doesn’t make you a liar.
