I just accepted an SA role at an investment bank for summer 2025. I'd like to share it on LinkedIn, but I don't think there is any way to post it without it being cringe or annoying like everyone else's. Does anyone have any insight?

why do you need to post it
to flex without sounding like a douche
Flexing = being a douche
Is it cringe to write "incoming summer analyst" on your header and experience section?
**WITHOUT ALERTING YOUR NETWORK**
I don't think so, I think that might be the right option
Don't tag every single person you've spoken with at the firm and don't write a whole paragraph, 2 sentences is fine
fair, thanks
I’ve never found these cringey as long as you don’t write a paragraph along with it; I think those should be reserved for leaving a role you enjoyed after 5+ years.
There are way cringey things on LinkedIn than an excited college student landing a great internship. I’d rather see that than ~80% of posts on my feed from D tier independent consultants.
Update your title and get prepped for the summer. Congrats on important early milestone… to quote the late Kobe Bryant and as you know: job not finished.
Everyone relax and let the kids (respectfully) celebrate. We were all pumped too.
That's good insight. RIP Kobe.
It sucks because everyone at my school is posting the longest cringiest posts ever. Kinda ruins it for people who wanna share with friends/family that they finally landed a job.
This. I couldn't agree more. Congratulations, by the way.
You share with your friends and family through Linkedin?
I’d wait to post until after your 2024 internship is complete.
Just add it to your profile around the time you start and let LinkedIn do the auto post. A little cringe but whatever. You can update your title in the meantime, or leave it alone. Being ‘incoming’ has the tiny benefit of headhunters recording you in their database a month or two earlier than normal. Not a huge deal.
Yup. Pretty straightforward.
