Just landed my dream job at MBB starting next month. When is it acceptable to update my LinkedIn? I’m truly excited and I want to post this big achievement already but all the “incoming X at X” posts I see are from college hires. Is it acceptable to do so as an experienced hire before my start date?

Congrats! What an achievement. I’m sure you’re excited but if it was me I’d wait until I’m officially working there to post anything and change my job status. Only a month away!

Bro you work at PwC. And I’m not talking ish, because SF is not exactly NASA either. But PwC will hire people after only 2 rounds. No case interview, no tech screen. I have seen it. And MBB is still harder to get hired at. It’s just comical that a PwC person is the one to say this about OP haha

Lol you being that ‘incoming’ person seems like you will also be the ‘ex-mbb’ person when you exit.

Moral of the story: don’t be that person.

Once you submit your application you're clear to put "Incoming X at Y," no need to wait for acceptance or onboarding.

Congrats! Or just change your job title now fully. Who cares. Whatever you do, do it for you. Don’t post it for others’ approval/praise and don’t “not” post it because you think people will judge. You’re going to do great and happiness should always be the guiding principle.

Don't do it til after your first week. "Incoming" is cringe, especially if you're already out of school

After a year “incoming” will mean nothing to you but will become part of others memory of you. You get one shot. I’d play it cool and wait to take it when it’s already secured on your resume … don’t broadcast what you will one day be; only broadcast who you are today and wait to post when it’s more meaningful. It could be damaging to your professional image if something gets screwed up and it falls through after you made a premature deal of it.
