My friend lied on his CV. Now he’s a “Senior Product Manager” in a field he Googled 2 weeks ago. He convinced management he was a magician in product building. In his recent search history in the browser is → How to present yourself as an expert in a meeting. → Using Product Buzzwords to look smart in the meeting. Every time they ask a question, he doesn’t have the answer during the meeting. He always says, “We will circle back to this problem after a time” Last Month, He got promoted to Director of Product Management. Now he is guiding other people. What do you learn?

It’s a fascinating and cautionary story about how surface-level confidence can temporarily open doors, but real expertise and integrity are what sustain a career. Hopefully, this situation encourages leaders to look deeper and support genuine growth in their teams rather than just polished presentations. Gaurav Attrii

The people hiring and promoting him don't understand the role well enough to spot the fraud. That said, if they're happy with his work, then no harm no foul?
