in my company there's literally people who didn't turned on a computer in their life, and now they're doing Team Leader/Quality/Specialists roles, I also got hired as a noob and now the same title in other country would require me University degree (I don't even have a Bachelor's, lol)

If it was a big company with sh*tton of money then it's whatever but it's a recently new tech startup and there shouldn't be newbies taking on difficult projects

Again if he's not making deadlines 2 weeks into the job how can you be sure they won't make deadlines on more bigger projects in the future

yeah I get your point

idk I am too conscious and empathic I can't be doing boss job and live with the idea that I laid off a person who is giving their best to remain with us (especially during Holoday season)

Yeah bro, none of that other s*** matters, especially in tech. If they're using certain tools and you're fluent in those tools....you're fit for that job. F*** a degree.

OP - Who interviewed him? How did the dude pass the interview? Did you not have a technical round?

i've seen a person do this and get away with it. it's pretty risky though.

most companies these days contract an external background check company like goodhire or hireright, and you can't f*** around with them lol.

I don’t lie about my experience cause it’ll eventually come back around and make me look silly, I lie about everything else though

he tells them he lied about his experience

how dumb do you have to be?

if you aren't exaggerating HEAVILY in your interview you're doing it all wrong

still haven't picked it lol

just have a placeholder as of right now

Every single one

Y’all done hired Mike Ross

I’ve been lied to while conducting an interview (work in fintech), but the person lying seemed to think they were right (so, they were just unfortunately wrong and didn’t have enough product knowledge at the time).

But the way he went about it, like he wasn’t sure & grabbing at straws/bullshitting. I told him it’s a very technical role & that he needed to know his s***, but that LITTLE thing he didn’t know, he could’ve just said “I don’t know, but I’d find out” and I’d be chill with it.

We still hired him but literally STOMPED what I said above in his mind. Saying “I don’t know, but -” is one of the most underrated & strongest things you can say to get you out of anything.

code probably looks like s*** but you have no idea

Stretched the truth sure, never straight out lied.

All the time Sway

Lie now, panic later lol

alotta y'all don't count dates as interviews and lyin sayin u got a big ego

Lied about my GPA
Only to find out no one gives a f***

Most people seem to lie or stretch out the truth in job interviews in order to sell themselves I think telling the truth will make you stand out. Honesty is underrated.

If he gets it done right while learning, keep him. He's not unreliable at this point, he's just valued himself enough to do what needed to be done to get there

I don't lie, I prefer starving to death

No your honor, never lied.
