Is being pompous and on the nose part of being in mathematics?

"I was in Switzerland", "I was invited to a talk", "I started a machine learning company", look at me bro.

Being invited to conference talks around the world is a completely normal part of being an active researcher in almost any academic field, so it doesn't register as pompous to other academics.
