Thinking of sharing with my network that I was able to pass these two exams all on the first try. I haven't seen anyone sharing such before so just want to make sure that this is fine. Thanks.

Please don’t do this.
Hmmm maybe a little since it's not seen as a huge obstacle, but we don't know what your backstory is or anything...If you wanna share with your network, I'd suggest just emailing/messaging your closer companions and telling them directly, they'd probably appreciate that more anyway. Feel free to add them under "certifications" though. At the end of the day, though, feel free to make a post if you want to make a post. You'll honestly be much happier not caring about our opinions lol
Thank you.
As a rule of thumb, it is cringe to post absolutely anything on LinkedIn.
But how will we know that Timmy was selected out of 10,000+ applicants to be apart of the Goldman Sachs Insight Series Program?!?!
Don’t do this. It’s not an accomplishment, it’s the mandated bare minimum to be an analyst and fail rates are extremely low
Do not do this.
I think if you're in a firm or group that people don't know too much about, having the series is helpful for recruiters to check the boxes when reaching out to a potential applicant on Linkedin. Nothing wrong with having it.
But you could put the tests under your certifications without having to announce it in a LinkedIn post. Think this gives off similar vibes as thanking your whole network for being invited to an insight series or shadow day.
Please do not post about this.
Certifications is the place to put this. Really though, only banks require these certs so recruiters don't even care that you have it
Congrats on doing what is required of you to be a banker! Such an accomplishment!
I swear to god its getting to the point that people are gonna start posting thank you posts on linkedin for getting the Bloomberg certificate.
So, do you think I'll be able to post about my next large bowel movement on linkedin? That may be more prestigious than the SIE.
Id say that's a particularly large achievement. Post it.
Wow, passed them both on the first try?! I’d def let everyone know you’re crushing banking so far. Thanks for running such an important achievement by us first!
LMFAOOOO
.
This is embarrassing.
Definitely cringe to anyone in the industry. Your non-banking connections will be more forgiving though as they don't realize that these are just check the box certifications that literally everyone has and passing is expected.
