A warning to you all: do NOT post that your company is hiring unless you want to get attacked by notifications. I can’t open up LinkedIn anymore without 10 new DMs and 15 new connection requests… and I posted this 2 months ago.
But also, if someone who posts they are hiring doesn’t get back to you… this is why.

It's a rough job market. And some folks have been looking for a year or more. I try to help where I can. If that means a flooded inbox, I can live with that.

I don't know. Maybe it's a karma thing but I'd appreciate the help if I needed it.

Are you complaining? This is the exact advice people with titles like you i've seen give to people that are struggling to find a job. "Request the hiring manager on linkedin! make connections! ask to take them out to coffee!"

I get that being inundated with messages is annoying, but like, what did you think was going to happen…? Why post about your company hiring if you don’t want to be contacted by potential candidates lol

Clearly they post so they look like a company team player. 🤦‍♂️

So why did you post it?

To look like a leader and team player.

Hi All,

I have 2 years of Indian experience as a Data Analyst .I have knowledge of tools like Sql,Tableau,Excel and Python. I have recently moved to Toronto Canada. My dream job is to become a Data Scientist. I am looking for jobs right now as a Data analyst. Do you feel I should take time off from job hunt and work on gaining more skills to apply for Data scientist positions??
Should I enrol myself into a school(if so please suggest) ? OR should I just get a job as a Data Analyst??
