How long do you wait before updating your LinkedIn profile after joining a new firm. Call me superstitous but I wait atleast 3months after starting a new role before updating my profile. Anyone else like me? If so, why do you delay?

Leadership at new job wants us to be more active on linkedin by promoting our work & Old company peers keep checking my profile. Lol!

I am just always afraid that the recruiter will call me and be like “it’s a mistake we didn’t mean to accept you we meant to accept someone else” maybe I need to talk to my therapist about this too haha

I update it but turn off the setting that notifies people about it. Stealth mode.

if you’re confident to stick in the new company for a stable while you can update it anytime, those who’re unsure if they’ll quit soon may hold on the linkedin flex

Yup continously updating my resume and talking to recruiters to get a feel for what is out there.

I turned off my notifications based on same industry (fed consulting) and irrational fear of unenforceable non-competes. I’m clear...but didn’t want to blast any MDs to inform them on my new spot...

Lol I knew that’s what you meant. Yes same reason here.

I was terminated by my firm then asked to reapply. 😒 I took another role at a different firm, and still won’t claim them. Fear is keeping me from even considering claiming another company just to get blindsided again.

You should accept the LinkedIn invite and then ask the Partner if they’ll accept service of process for your lawsuit for wrongful termination, bet that connection will close pronto

Hi!

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
