For people who don't have everything on a golden plate and come from really poor backgrounds and achieve something is better than winning the presidency in my opinion. I know off so many people who have succeeded against all odds and made it into schools/companies a lot of us walk into because of being born in families that can afford everything

I have friend who was the first generation after their family moved out from refugee camp in the other part of the world. I never seen as dedicated and hard working person in my life. From learning the languages to coping upto his peers he struggled a lot.

Bad opinion - OP that's a 15 yard penalty, repeat 1st down

OP I get what you're saying. Period of time, all 30 friends of mine announced their new jobs out of college on 900 different platforms lol

When they graduate from school and establish a linked in account for their first professional job, linked in automatically sends out a notification- just like it does when we put a change in position. They aren't bragging.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
