The current system of job seeking often requires to lie on resume. It is even being highly recommended by people that coach people for job seeking, although with some moderation of course.

I’m not sure if this is embellishment or not but I wrote some sales software for a moving company. Then they used it for 15 years, and my resume now says I wrote software that brought in like $30m to the company.

I'd call it a legit claim. I assume as well that over those 15 years you've had to debug it and update it along the way. So that's completely fair to put on your resume.

Lies? Excuse me?? That 30 mil bit is absolutely (technically) true!!!
