Now, I've seen posts against putting this in your LinkedIn title, but hear me out. Some of my most helpful resources when I was recruiting, were kids in the grade above me who just went through the process over the last year. I found most of these kids through the "incoming" title on LinkedIn. As the process keeps accelerating (now happening before you're even 1/2 done with college), current students with offers, who have not yet completed internships, will be some of the best resources as to how the process works/what to expect, to younger kids.
With this process moving earlier, do we think that "incoming..." could start being less "hardo" and more beneficial to kids trying to recruit (especially from non-targets)?
No.
first off- congrats!
second- I think you and me both know that you'd like to do this to showcase your new internship (which I couldn't really blame you for- it's an amazing feeling receiving it), so if you're going to do it, just do it
you don't need our validation or to make up a scenario where it helps
if you're proud of your accomplishment and want to show it to people, go for it
