How do startups that are a couple months to 2 years old have 1000+ followers on LinkedIn? I understand the Y Combinator types that get a lot of press, sure. But that's a few batch every season. Are they farming for followers to get more reach or is this all organic?

That is a really good question. It could be organic but it doesn't sound likely.

My spouse does startups here and there. In the past, they’ve grown their pages mostly by networking at events.

I could see scenarios where they could attract a lot of followers. It's partly because there are people who really follow the startup scene. And all it takes is one VC with a lot of followers to mention a startup and people will want to pay attention. Following someone on LinkedIn is low effort, so people will just do it without putting a huge amount of thought into it.

Very good question. I've always hated LinkedIn so I don't really pay attention enough to know.

Probably farming

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
