I wouldn’t say it’s a waste of time, it’s been a good way to find alumni - don’t like messaging on there though, I always get ignored lol. To your point, I don’t like when people make a whole post about their life because they started a job at the donut factory.

making a public post about how proud you are about your internship and then it gets wiped out by the gov lockdowns of 2020

Money can purchase freedom, if you have the guts to buy it
 

The worst stuff I’ve seen this year is minorities calling white people inherently racist on LinkedIn. Actually, scratch that, that is the second worst thing. The worst thing I’ve seen are white people calling themselves inherently racist on LinkedIn.

 

On one hand when you join there’s a belief that connecting with as many ppl is important. Wrong it just clouds up your feed.

Honestly ignore those RE / HR / recruiter / sales adds, and unfollow anyone who likes or shares or posts anything annoying.

Over time you filter lost of the BS out. I actually get some good news and articles and papers or stuff from LinkedIn. I remember seeing one about LBO entry equity % over time or shit like that, or ‘how are placement funds evaluating where to put money’ etc etc so not bad.

 

One of the worst I've seen was this guy who posted about getting a 4.0 last semester when everyone was doing virtual courses, and said how he regretted it, and wished he had spent time with family instead, etc.  Now while that's pretty bad, he made it 100x worse by sharing a link to an article listing all the students who made the deans list that semester (his name obviously on there)... I winced out loud

There is a prominent multifamily loan broker in South Florida who posts the cingriest things with cringey hashtages. A couple of weeks ago he posted his return to his office, with a selfie of himself in a mask. His caption was something along the lines of: "who is this masked hero? It is the #LoanArranger!"
