LinkedIn Headlines Are Getting Out of Hand

I know everybody exaggerates, but I just had somebody send me a request to join me that's a 'B2B Saas Leader'. This was literally the first part of his headline.

He's an SDR/BDR. With a 10 month career. At 2 different companies.

WHAT THE HELL!? What does he think he's going to accomplish?

What are some of the egregious examples you guys have seen?

Gotta fluff up that profile.
Personally I hate anything along the lines of "CROx6, ex-tesla, girl dadx2, dog dad."

Oh God, the worst.
Although I laughed out loud at your comment as I read it as 'tesla girl, dog dad' - which would be a hell of a combination to pull off.

Tesla girls, Tesla girls
Testing out theories
Electric chairs and dynamos
Dressed to kill, they're killing me
But heaven knows their recipe

OMD, anybody?

I hate the ex somewhats. It's like you don't work there anymore do you... why be so proud over something that is not yours.

You and @Sunbunny31 … I have a feeling that’s going to be the most (least?) popular one here today

Exactly. For all I know, you worked there for 3 months, then got fired.

Cleaned the shitter for a week and a half at the Apple Store in Kansas, and then let go. 'Ex-Apple'

He's just a young lad, and I don't want to be that guy. It's enough to laugh here.

I just don't understand the play. I'm like 'cool, a sales leader' and then it's a green SDR..

If everybody is a Sales Leader, then nobody is a sales leader.

Ain't that the truth.

Although some places I've been at were reminiscent of Lord of the Flies at times...

I kinda felt this way too, so I committed the cardinal sin of making my headline my actual job title.

Most egregious must be the marketing ninja...with marketing tricks from last century. Here is a holiday card we designed that you cannot post anywhere...Wheeey.

Nothing that extreme, but any "ex-whatever company".
I don't get that. You're gone. Move on.

Agreed. I can see some merit if it's ex-FAANG - still cringey, but I get it.

Ex-Hooptydoo or whatever? GTFO

Even with FAANG, it is often contractors who are not real FAANG... so it is like why on earth would you mention it.
