So, does LinkedIn have a feature where you can just have it say “x started a new job at y” instead of the whole “I’m happy to share that…”??

I think if you just update your current company and title, a generic note will appear in your connections’ feed something like “Congratulate Jane Doe on her new job blah blah”

I guess the other question is, are people being told by HR to post those crazy long ‘I’d like to thank person x, y and z for guiding me and my parents and Jesus for believing in me, and my professors a, b and c and my father who owns the firm., etc etc’

Or are gen z folks really that narcissistic?

I don’t even know if it’s narcissistic as much as it is a lack of awareness + expectation to do so. Lots of kids who first join LinkedIn see these kinds of posts and adopt the mindset of “here’s how to use LinkedIn”

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

I’m a creative / tech innovator applying to McKinsey and the other big four. However, I’m now concerned my limited on-the-fly math skills will automatically count me out. Seems like the interview process weighs on that. Im wondering if I need to hire a math tutor to help me get up to speed. Or, wondering if those of us who are more creative can get away with less than ideal math skills. What’s the reality?
