Is it just me or is this beyond cringey? Why brag about offers that you received instead of simply letting us know which one you accepted?

Congrats to OP, though!

And I'm not sure if it's a good idea broadcasting out to the world that you rejected a powerful tech company. We work in an incredibly small world.

Ok but to be fair those announcements are usually fun!

This takes nothing away from their accomplishment, but just found it weird.

It’s cringe for sure although honestly we work so hard for those offers that i can understand wanting to share them as accomplishments. But companies spend a ton on recruiting us and i feel bad even turning down an offer - seems in very poor taste to then broadcast it. It’s not like companies are broadcasting publicly those of us they reject.

And in some cases privately i think that info can be useful (eg. I turned down X company for now but may return eventually or how can i get a similar story without this role i turned down), but broadcasting publicly just to broadcast, is i agree very tacky.

It beats another "why I turned down companyX" article or video.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
