This is like 1,000 miles down the list of insane bullshit you find on LinkedIn.
Man who would even write that as description hahaha
He probs wants the recruiter clicks from keyword searches
My favorite one is this guy who had 68 experiences, yes you heard correctly, SIXTY EIGHT experiences. He was still in undergrad.
Must've been just a bunch of one or two day diversity programs lol. I think I know who you're talking about.
Saw a guy say he was the “managing director” of a firm he founded. He was a sophomore in undergrad 😭
My spine shrank as I read this
Unfortunately, I've seen this a couple times as well for kids in university investment clubs who put MD.
This is an easy dox lol there's 1 of only 25 people this could be
Good, this person needs to know how cringe this is and adjust accordingly for their own benefit lol
…..
It's not unusual to add the former name of your company for clarification purposes, btw.
Yeah it's normal when you've worked in the company when it had the old name. This guy has worked at PTJ for 2 months...
tbf have seen associates / vps who joined 2-3 years have the same description
I'm just genuinely curious how someone who landed PJT could be so insecure/ cringe/ tactless
I wouldn’t expect anything less from Europe.
You can 100% tell this guy is a continental European masters student and not a UK undergrad
I am on his side - OP, how can you be so bothered? Why all the effort of screenshotting and making a new thread on WSO? It's not that bad.
However, saying that PJT is previously Blackstone is an exaggeration. This is what Wikipedia says but the timeline is wrong. Paul J. Taubman started PJT and for its first deal it was a one man band. Then, he hired senior bankers and built it up a bit. Only afterwards they got Blackstone's advisory division... The PJT Analyst in the pic should learn the history of the firm. My personal opinion is that PJT's life could be turned into a great Hollywood movie.
It's extremely cringe, the forum is made for posting this kind of stuff so don't see why he / she wouldn't post
How about this guy - doesn't work at just any office!
Had to remind everyone that JPM is headquartered in NYC in case they forgot
