Am I a dweeb if I post my new position after signing the offer letter even if I don’t start for another week or two? I’m incredibly proud of getting this and frankly I need a little win for my Linkedin presence as I’ve had a bad work year.

Rule of Thumb, don't post about your new role until you're in the building.

You’ll feel more like a dweeb if the offer gets rescinded for reasons beyond your control, just wait

I wouldn’t post until the official start date 🧿
But congrats! Definitely not a dweeb at all you should be proud to post once you’re there :)

This need for immediate likes is going to be your downfall. Never post about a new job until At least 1 or 2 weeks in.

Agree, but laid off twice tells you something! There is wisdom in waiting. Congrats 🎉🎊🎈🍾 again!

Post on your first day and then in the future LinkedIn will also notify your network of your work anniversary and you’ll get much deserved kudos on accurate day instead of jumping the gun before. Also like others said, god forbid something happen. Doubt it and I’m sure you’ll be fine. Congrats !

Just here to also cast the vote to absolutely positively 100% wait until after you've already actually started the job.

Congrats OP! It’s huge to get a new gig. Tell your friends and family but definitely wait until you start for LinkedIn.

Please wait

Been in consumer insights all my work life (10 years) and considering pivoting to product or product marketing manager roles. Yet I have had some interesting convos for people manager roles in insights recently and wondering if I should maybe refocus my efforts there. I’m looking for a broader mandate than just my immediate pipeline. I have been enjoying insights but grow frustrated by the lack of decision-making power. I rather would want to take a path with high long term career potential.

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
