1.3k Views Asked by At

People often use the + sign to qualify numbers.

It's common to see this in resumes, e.g.:

  • Managed a +$1M portfolio

  • Lead interviews with 50+ people

  • What is the exact meaning of the + sign in each of these cases?
  • Does it mean exactly the same to have the + sign preceding or following a given number?
