When to post new job on LinkedIn after reneging?
Hi Monkeys,
After a shameful act of reneging on an offer from one bank I went with another one, where I am about to start full-time. When would you consider it safe to update my LinkedIn?
The first company does not know where I went as I haven't told them.
sell/buy side is a small world, i would personally wait at least 6 months
As long as you were respectful when reneging, it's not a big deal. IB is a high turnover industry to begin with. I would update your profile the same way as if you did not reneg (i.e. when you actually start working FT).
Chillax and pat yourself on the bat. It will all work out. I've seen multiple people reneg, it all worked out fine.
TBH, all bankers, including MDs are replaceable. No one cares if you reneg, leave, etc...
Nothing personal. Just business.
Just wait a few months. No point in risking anything until you are up to speed at the new firm.
You should post no sooner than when you begin your job. Other than that, waiting more time is generally better.

Be smart put you’re starting at Deloitte or some other generic big 4 firm to throw them off your trail. Then switch it to your real firm three months in. If you really wanna be smart set your LinkedIn profile to private and have it not come up on search.
