These kinds of kids are giving Europe such a bad name. We're already getting outcompeted on comp by the US, and now we're publicly making ourselves look like complete wet wipes (As seen by the UK LinkedIn cringe post last month)
Worst part is, that kid actually landed an offer. The kind of personality that produces and publicizes this drivel wins offers in London. It's insane. American recruiting, with its emphasis on networking and the subsequent social aptitude vetting that entails, is miles ahead.
Non CF/M&A Big 4 offer though which is the type of personality you'd expect there
More firms should do what PJT London does. I.e. host networking dinners at various unis which essentially act as a first round HV personality screen.
As an American, just speaking from experience by folks I've brushed shoulders with over the years, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you that we absolutely don't have a leg up on screening out these types of folks. Just going to leave it at that.
Unfortunately this is just the type of person that our industry attracts, as our industry attracts the most cringy, narcisstic, greedy individuals who unapologetically self-promote in the most cringy manner possible while kicking aside anyone who gets in their way. What's worse is that the worst ones are generally the ones who rise to the top and set the culture.
Hahaha I saw that yesterday and saw the title of this thread and thought I bet that's this post.
Kids linkedin is full of posts like that. Tbh I have a feeling this thread will end up in the next post.
I think you missed the memo, but he's going to Australia. Far away from this inexorable hardship. Far away from being made fun of. Far away from trauma. And hopefully far away from the LinkedIn post button
Only just noticed there's only 1 vote for 'Low' cringe level btw. He's probably seen it 😭😭
Pretty sure the same kid posted a selfie of him crying on a train too and churned out a story about resilience. Imagine being sat near some uni student mid-breakdown and watching him pull up a camera to take a selfie hahah
lol I remember seeing this
Absurd
Not even top 10. Have you seen the ones the tech bros put out?
This one is up there, but the one guy who posted his own engagement photos and compared marriage to SaaS sales takes the cake
GenZ didn’t get bullied enough
"Laughed at while pitching" I just KNOW this was at Jeff LDN LMFAO

Met this chap on a SW. He is clearly on the spectrum, I wouldn't go too hard on him
ffs why did i know who this person is just by looking at the post
yeah, cringe, but not the worst I've seen - you should check out LinkedInLunatics on reddit - it's a gold mine.
Cringe, but this is bullying. I wouldn't post about it on a forum to ridicule this person. Clearly he's got problems and this isn't productive or nice.
Yeah exactly, the person clearly has problems and doesn’t deserve even more stress because of this. Mods please take this down.
exactly why people like this post this shit, yall r too soft
Ppl like this love to hear the sound of their own voice; it’s weird.
This reads like one of “x is paradise” shitpost on wso
“I almost died reading this post. Nonetheless, I battled through to the end so I could fully understand the cringe before commenting.”
I bet you are the kind of colleague one can count on.
