Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's generally recommended to keep your LinkedIn profile simple and professional. Updating your LinkedIn on the first day might come off as overly eager or unprofessional. Here are some key points to consider:
Professionalism: Keep your profile professional and avoid overly enthusiastic or "flexing" updates.
First Impressions: Focus on making a strong impression face-to-face rather than through immediate online updates.
Profile Completeness: Having a complete LinkedIn profile is expected, but it won't necessarily get you a job. It helps you avoid being overlooked.
In summary, it's best to wait until you've settled into your role before updating your LinkedIn profile. This approach ensures you come across as professional and focused on your new position.

Yeah first day is a lot better than stating “incoming analyst at BB” two months before IMO.
"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
Do what you want and don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You think about yourself more than anyone else thinks about you. Your accomplishments should be celebrated. If you're a decent person, your network should be full of people who are supportive of you and wish for your success. Maybe don't write an essay about how you're humble to be humble.
Why wouldn't you update your LinkedIn on your first day? You literally work there now...
