Quick Rant

If I see one more guy from UVA have his LinkedIn title as "private equity associate," only for me to go and check that he does corp dev at a MM PE backed LMM holdco, I might actually lose my shit. YOU WORK IN CORP DEV who is gonna tell them man can they stop this shit. I can't tell if they know and are just trying to market themselves better or if they're actually clueless about the difference in their roles. Please.

Dude who cares? How does that negatively impact your life in any way? Get a grip.
