Linkedin Stalking: Ever Make You Feel Like Crap?
I'm pretty happy with my SA experience so far, but taking a quick spin through Linkedin Profiles of people from my school (which I thought was a non-target, not much OCR), it feels like EVERYONE is in FO at BBs (mostly for SA, though a few for FT). Is this just selection bias (i.e. people with the best jobs trumpet them the most on Linkedin)?
What gives?
Anyone else ever feel inadequate after a Linkedin session?
Cant' say I know this feel, I'm usually stalking hot girls who are in the Bahamas for the summer.

prob is a bias, but still made me feel like shit when I was a junior lol just be happy where you are and keep working hard to get to where you want to be
There will always be someone with more money and a bigger cock than you.
for me it goes both ways. Sometimes i see people that i knew that graduated a few years ago and im shocked with how little they are doing with their life. Then sometimes i look at people in Goldman TMT, or Mckinsey, or Disney Corp Strategy and i hate seeing how flawless their background is. The real pain is just matching a face to the job. Looking at the profile and thinking..that guy..thats the fucking guy that has the job i want..

This. SO much this.
This dude's got the right idea. Why worry about someone else...just do well for yourself.
One thing with LinkedIn is that those in your class who don't really care about career and networking don't even know what it is. Therefore, there's a natural bias towards more experienced users than the average university group.
But yes, it sometimes make me feel a bit stressed...
Being an analyst in consulting or in corp dev in a big company is not impressive to anyone but a few college kids so no reason to be bitter here It's not like we're talking Dan Loeb, Julian Robertson or Larry David...
dude jus searching blackstone or KKR analysts/associates makes me cringe/cry lulz
Can't say it makes me feel like crap. If anything, it just motivates me to do better. Then again, I've never really been the jealous type.
