Updating 2021 on Linkedin

yes. people only to it do humble brag, no point in updating it

If you do it, make sure you turn off notifications so it doesn't show up in everyone's feed

Lol if it feels weird then don't do it, if you wanna flex, you probably won't be the only one either- it's not that serious

I still don’t get why people write that. It only announces and ingrains in people’s minds that you are supposed to work at X bank, and in the event you don’t get the return offer, it begs the question as to why.

I think it is useful for incoming FT, though, so that buyside recruiters can add you to their shortlists.

Everyone does it. If you do, change it so it doesn't alert your connections -- then you'd look like a douche.

Don’t do it. it’s so cringe

screams the need for external validation imo. But that’s 90% of LinkedIn anyway

I’d think about it in the sense that your tag line should describe your current situation the best. If you are currently studying and will take this SA next year, it would make more sense to me to only include your studies and not yet your SA stint. Fast forward a couple months, you are done studying and one month before your internship, would be sensible to write about it in your tag line. For now, I would advise against it as it might indicate you have nothing else going on before your SA.

do it

i've noticed a lot of people do this for 2021, and while i understand how it might feel validating to flex on peers, how do the employers think of this? If I were a FT analyst and saw an incoming intern update their LinkedIn to say "incoming" at my bank for a whole year in advance, I'd definitely judge them before meeting them in person lmao. Other thoughts?

My big worry would be broadcasting to the world about something that hasn’t happened yet. We had a ton of kids like this in CRE who got their internships pulled due to COVID and it’s kind of embarrassing.

I never update anything on LinkedIn until I have been there for at least a week.
