I am humbled and honored to announce… 🤮
Enthusiast
It makes me lol too, but I don't get the hate. It's LinkedIn. That is where you make professional announcements (if you're so inclined). I feel like the people who hate on this also take it upon themselves to contrive and announce all these arbitrary rules for posting on other social media (IG, etc.). People can and should post what they want, when they want. Full stop. You're welcome to hide, unfollow, or whatever.

@A4 – I agree with you re: humbled.

So glad I went through the OCI and summer program process years and years ago before this was a thing. It’s just absurd.

I would agree buts it’s LinkedIn. LinkedIn is literally there only for this type of content lol just don’t go on the platform
I agree with A1. The only reason to go on LinkedIn is for the cringe content.
I hate LinkedIn so much.
Agree?

I would be fine with it but for the cringe lead-in, e.g., I am thrilled/honored/humbled blah blah. Just get to the damn point.
Yeah. This is fair. I’m not much of a social media person so I have never announced anything on LinkedIn (though I have one), but I wouldn’t mind so much “I’ve accepted a summer associate position at X and look forward to next summer.” But the “I’m humbled” ridiculousness … for an internship you’re starting in ten months … is so goofy.

Ffs I just saw this for the first time today
Agree. But then I realized these kids just got offered a job starting $225k, most under 30. Not my style, but that’s exciting for them. Whatever, they can have their moment
I think those posts are e extremely based. These kids just got offered a life changing career that will leave them better off than millions of people. I think a self congratulatory post is well within reason. I love to see em prosper!
