It’s really hard out here if you don’t have a network or folks you know in Tech. I have a Google interview coming up and tried reaching out to people on LinkedIn for advice and not a single person responded. I wasn’t even asking for a phone call, just advice. Is it a thing for people at Google to just ignore you ? Lol

Why do you feel like people are obligated to respond to your LinkedIn message? I do not think it reflects on the company or the people that work there, because someone didn’t respond to your message. I hardly interact on LinkedIn and do not check messages unless I recognize the name, because I am not actively looking for roles. It’s not because people are rude.

I get that but I would assume if you message 20 people 1 would respond no? A single sentence would have been enough lol

Not at Google, but I did this with another company i interviewed at. I think it’s good practice. No one responded to me either. I have no idea why, but doesn’t leave a great taste in my mouth.

I worked at Google and now at BCG and I receive hundreds of messages every year asking for advice or to connect. I don’t have time to answer questions and I absolutely hate being pestered by folks. Probably others out there who feel similarly

Did no one help you with the transition?

Don’t take me wrong but LinkedIn has lost its charm overall. I’m not a fan of the platform because
A. It’s more like drum your rolls and fake post on empathy and experiences. Simon Sinek said it and I absolutely love that - True vulnerability is not broadcasting our feelings online. True vulnerability is interpersonal. It's an honest conversation.
This is the primary reason I and many like me use LinkedIn only to find Jobs and networking has gone down
B. Yes, not many ppl respond but I’ve been in the other shoes, and it feels weird when ppl that I don’t know at all reaches out with no clear reason or intention of. The message requests hardly has any content that talks about connection need and how the person’s profile has intrigued you to send that connection requests.
Just my thought. I feel you might get more success on applications like reditt and FB.
