Are you swiping right to find work? This article talks about a survey that says 1 in 3 have used a dating app to network. They’ve identified the workplaces of people on the app and swiped to simply connect for advice, mentorship and more.

When I hear things like this I don't know whether to think it's clever or just depressing. The idea that someone is using a dating app, and someone in turn might be using them to network for a job, is just grim. It's like some dark comedy or something, but I'm willing to believe it's real life. What a world we've made for ourselves.

Your reaction was similar to mine. According to the article, some people made successful connections and I thought they were really thinking out of the box. Then I also thought about what led them there. And I don’t think I could convince my wife that I use the app to job hunt.

This feels so dystopian! I totally get the job market is brutal, and I think there’s value to expand your network.

But using a dating app feels so sad. Rather than focusing on real, meaningful connections with people, they’re using it to get ahead. Feels crazy!

Was thinking exact same things reads like a bad hallmark movie
