I had 6 weeks of annual leave saved up. Im changing to a job that pays significantly more than my current salary. When my boss asked me what it would take to stay, I asked for a salary increase of 35% which he begrudingly gave me. Then I quit. This equated to an entitlement payout of about $10,700 instead of $8000 on my previous rate, an extra $2700. And the new job still pays more than the increased rate I asked for.
Why not just lie and say you have the title anyway to prospective employers? It’s not like they have any way to check.
In the UK we have a thing called references where they call your former employers and confirm your role and dates of work…

They do have a way to check, and they always do for higher level jobs. Most great jobs include a 2-4 week background check period where they verify literally everything you’ve told them and some things you haven’t told them.
It’s hit or miss. Some employers check your references diligently and others don’t.
When I hired someone (creative field) we definitely checked their job title in conjunction with what their portfolio looked like, whether they passed a test and how well they interviewed.
Some had great references, but not those other things.
If you can’t do your job and don’t know basic things, I don’t care who you know. They would get further screened for educational and criminal background anyways.
