I’ve been at a new company (let’s call it Company X) for < 1 month and have been job hunting. I took this job originally for ~40% increase in TC and the project but the project and the tech stack that I was promised was assigned to other new joiners when I started and I was placed on a legacy project. So I’m looking for advice on how I should adjust my resume and what I should tell recruiters. Right now, I only have vmw on my resume, as I’ve done nothing particularly noteworthy yet at Company X. Recruiters still think I’m at vmw. 1) Should I tell the other recruiters about Company X once I get an offer? 2) Should I leave Company X out of my resume? If I do this, it looks like I’m insinuating that I got fired/laid off from vmw which isn’t the best look. YOE: 2
Man up and stay 1 year. You got 40% bump. What else u want?
it sucks here and not everything is about the money. I joined because the project that they said I will be working on is interesting to me
Ok then move away and do not put the job in your resume
Do whatever is best for you, just don't include this new company on your resume and smash the interviews you will be good!
You don’t have to put it on your resume if it’s under 6 months. Or you can tell recruiters that there’s not many problems for you to solve there.
Boomerang to VM…
lmao this aint happening
Why not? It has been only 1 month. Ask your previous manager.
One upon a time I got fired from a hedge fund after two months on the job. It’s a long story. They fired me and my entire team and the CTO. I simply did not include that job in my resume and went on with my life like nothing happened. At least I got to keep my signing bonus. They wanted it back, but I refused to pay them, and they knew that they’d have to sue me and put all their dirty laundry on the public record, so I kept the money. Good times.
was it more difficult getting interviews from companies when your resume suggests that you have been unemployed for 2 months?
I said I took a self-funded sabbatical to decompress from my previous startup. A couple of places cringed at that, and I politely said I wasn’t interested and moved on. The sorts of recruiters/hiring managers who pay attention to a 2-month break are also the same people you shouldn’t want to work for.
Background check will show this company anyway, no point in hiding it.
I was thinking of telling them at the offer stage and using the higher salary at the new company to negotiate
Wrong. Hireright just verifies what you says. Only TS (top secret) background check will show it.
I'd leave it off my resume and say I wanted to take some time off. A short gap is probably easier to explain that 1 month at a company.
Will a background check find it if you don't report?
In all seriousness, apply, put it on and explain why. That’s the best way to handle it and avoid any issues. Your explanation here seems pretty reasonable.

Should C-suite take paycut to save company? Peloton layoff 400 and ceo pocketed $168M TC.
Tc or gtfo
