Today was the last day at my firm but I’m not starting the new position for a few weeks. Is it lame to say “today was my last day and I’m grateful for my time and will be going to xyz next” on LinkedIn? I’m a 7th year.

I don’t think you should. Letting Linkedin automatically show where you are going by way of job update is the coolest. Announcing at a non-partner level just seems too kool-aid-esque.

You should definitely announce it since you’ll be a partner. It’s a great jumping off point for BD purposes. Just doing the job update won’t have the same reach. Not as many folks will see it.

No photo for sure, but I don’t want to look like the kids who accept summer offers a year before and are like “I’m happy to announce.” I just had to say I’m not at my old firm and down want it to look like I’m just a deadbeat or fired

I just don’t understand why ppl care so much about other ppl posting about their accomplishments on their social media. If you don’t like it, just unfollow. Imagine hating someone else’s joy—couldn’t be me lol

Right? I honestly think some people hate on it because of their own insecurities. I applaud people for putting themselves out there and celebrating something that’s meaningful to them.

I actually appreciate seeing these updates as they happen. I often look people up when they leave. By the time it’s been a couple weeks/months later, I’ve forgotten, and I generally ignore LinkedIn notifications.

I’m in the same boat, but I’m waiting. I think you should be patient and just wait the few weeks for the auto job change update. Looks classy and still sends the same message.

Genuinely curious - why do you want to post that update in the first place? Is it to humble brag? Is it to get “likes”? Is it to feel a self-satisfactory sense of accomplishment? Not trying to put you down - just genuinely want to try understanding why ppl post fb-esque status updates on linkedin and the motive behind it.

Also, ppl may just want to celebrate their accomplishments with themselves and others. Also, makes them feel good and a nice boost to the self-esteem.

No issue with that!

There’s plenty of people I’m connected to on linked in who aren’t at the old or new firm. Biz contacts and other non lawyers as well as law school colleagues etc. I sit on a number of boards and do charity work.

Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
