Date: February 1st, 2015 6:51 PM Author: Cordovan legal warrant Lots of jobs don't involve people having public internet profiles, not sure that really qualifies as "off the face of the earth." I'm sure there are some dudes who just move to Jakarta or some such and disappear. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2797177&forum_id=2#27230704) |

Date: February 2nd, 2015 6:23 PM Author: Vigorous tanning salon many of them don't update their Linkedin, so they end up being "associate at X" long past (months/years) when they no longer appear on the firm profile

Either that, or they work for Google or somewhere that doesn't let them be public about it. |

If they say "screw it" and move to a tropical island and become a bartender (yes, I've seen this), why update anything? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2797177&forum_id=2#27237648) |
