Lying on Resume
How common is it to stretch the truth on resume bullet points? I’m not talking about making up a work experience / extracurricular, or even just polishing the wording to make bullets sound better.
I mean claiming responsibilities you didn’t really have, such as things that could have been true, but weren’t. For example: as an intern, saying you built a DCF or LBO model for a pitch, when in reality you only worked on a few slides that included it.
How common is this across top schools and the broader IB recruiting landscape?
Have any of you ever bent the truth like that on your resume?
Yes you can pretty much lie about anything except title / company / education. Be prepared to answer detailed questions tho in interviews or it’ll look like fluff. Not endorsing lying just answering the question.
I’m a former UBS Tech banker here and had to lie to get my next role. Felt my deal experience wasn’t enough relative to my industry experience
So true… fuck UBS the experience is so bad
I doubt you’ll find anyone’s resume who is 100% telling the truth
Join the fuckin club my dude
