My unpopular opinion (and I'll eat the downvotes) is that CV fraudsters don't get prosecuted nearly enough.
It's not just faceless billionaire companies you're fucking over, it's the other candidates who actually put in the effort to become competent at the job you lied to get.
I'll never get my head around the popularity of the idea that lying on a CV doesn't make you a liar.
You're not wrong, but I'd want to see more prosecution of job posting lies at the same time. Employers frequently add impossible requirements so they can hire H1Bs instead.
