Most FAANG and FAANG adjacents will background check after interviews so you're rolling the dice on getting blacklisted.

Resume fraud is prosecutable in plenty of jurisdictions as well (Australia and the UK at the very least).

google argued with me. a lot. I went to school but didn't graduate. not something they were prepared to deal with. never claimed I had a degree. but the fact that they called the school and the school said I didn't have a degree was a huge red flag.

I did a startup. the year before we were incorporated I was doing prototypes and fund raising. We called the company and you're weren't employed until 20xx, but you listed 20xx-1 as the start date! now you're in trouble.

I’ve known people who has dropped out of college after receiving job offers during their internships. The problem is that some companies cap your your maximum pay and promotions unless you finish college even though you had excellent performance reviews. So you either stay on college and lose the job opportunity, or stay knowingly that at some point you’ll have to come back to college to finish your degree.
