Why are 2-3 YOE people calling themselves leader(product leader , engineering leader)?

It takes time to understand and master any domain. You have to do something substantial. Where has the humility gone? Does calling yourself Leader increases chances of getting jobs? It’s mind boggling And shallow.

Just curious what's substantial in your opinion say for a product person?

Though not strict but somewhere close to a decade ..

Yep at least a decade. I’ve done 8 years in PM and find it incredibly funny when folks with half the experience (time, scope, scale) provide gyaan and talks and have the product leader tag.

2-3 years? Product Management interns write “Building {company_name}” these days. These kids probably don’t know to write a print statement in python and think that they’re building a company. I have a lot of respect and admiration for the PM function, however, a lot of GenZ kinda PMs just keep bullshitting these days.

Hey, what's bad about writing "building"? Technically they are building something at work right? Just curious.

Yea but it is about the message they are trying to convey. Would you call changing font size of in-app notification "building" the company?? Mostly no. It takes collective effort of entire team and departments to build and deliver meaningful impact. So, no one person alone is responsible for it unlike what 2 year experience kids portray on LinkedIn

They cant even lead their lives forget leading at workplace. 😂 Tags have become gimmick.

Genuine question: If my company has given me an unjustifiable title, should I not use it?
How do I convey to HR/others that my actual knowledge level is below what my designation name indicates?

Noo you don't, you actually stay and learn something that justifies your title and not just get the title and skip for calmer seas. While you're there why not just do it‽
