My new boss lied about get age

[Anonymous]

We hired this EVP at a huge Salary and in interviews and LinkedIn she has 27 years work experience. She dresses very formal and says stuff I got married much later in life and has my kids much later in life.

I realized her work experience actually starts at 16. She worked in HS and College at major banks part time. My math she 43.

God bless her. I should have done this when younger. She has SVPs and VPs reporting to her

What? I am confused about what your point is.

Op doesn’t seem to understand basic labor economics and human capital earnings functions. Or hiring practices, interviews or references.

So what.

Tell about where she worked and what she did the last 20 years working fulltime.
And what her education, degrees and quality of education are.

Age 0-22 is just character and skill development days. Sounds like she has a good story there too. Bfd.

How old is she claiming to be?

J1 guy, I thought you didn't believe in hiring women and mothers at all. At least you broadened your horizons.

Is she good at her job?

Failing to see the issue here. Nothing indicates that she lied about her age, just that she included work experience from high school onward. I do that too; I worked and the work is in the same field I’m still in. Anyone looking at my resume can see my early experience overlaps with my education.

She didn’t lie about her age.
She counted her years of work experience to include ALL her jobs including high school and college ones.

You don’t get a sr job by slapping down a headline X Years of Work Experience.

You get a sr job because you have relevant and progressive work experience and the transparent skills they need, plus pedigree, strong education, and strong references. Maybe she even shared some scrubbed work products or took a case study test for an interview round.

Anyways, this is clearly all above your pay grade if yours still stuck on the fact that she started working at a commercial bank 27 years ago and yours guessing at her current age.

Hope you spend that might time on your really day job work.

Done what?

Worked a 10 or 29 hour week at a corporate job from age 16 onward?

Well it will backfire at some point when people think she is too old, as ageism is pretty strong.

Though if she has made the jump to executive level she may perserve.

But those extra 4 years are meaningless, its what she has done recently. But the high school experience at a bank (like did her parents own a bank or something, she worked as a teller, what) does help you get over the entry level job hurdle of "any relevant experience" requirement which does speed up all future positions.

Op how much do you guess she is paid in this role?

600k, corporate car, full relocation package, maybe 200k deferred comp

I think it is genius. I worked from 18- 22 myself at a major bank as a clerk pre grad. I should have at 30 given myself 12 years experience, wear a three piece suit with mustache and horn rimmed glasses and applied to be a SVP

Oh she lied about her work experience not her age duh

[Anonymous]

Well she is literally 18 years younger than me and had her kids as an “older mom” I almost spit up my coffee. Her kids are same age me kids.

She dresses like Kamila Harris or Jill Biden.

I find it funny cause I am knocking 12 years off my age on resume. So somehow me and her are almost same “age”
