A real cyber security specialist only has shill accounts for osint and if they do have a real account, they definitely don’t share shit like this on a public account.
I recently came dangerously close to having to use LinkedIn as my job was up in the air for awhile due to RTO shenanigans. I knew it was always a site for shilling but when I reactivated my account to update my resume, my God the amount of corporate back patting was insane. People I knew IRL as down to earth hardworking folks, were shilling so hard for a company that couldn’t give two fucks less who they are and were using every buzz word from the white-collar, salaried company bootlicker playbook in every post.
Now, I know that’s “the game” and if you want to get ahead you have to play, so I can’t blame them for grinding, but at the same time, fuck that. I guess I’m fine being where I am and never moving up because I refuse to play that BS.
It’s mostly an HR circlejerk and people who make their jobs their entire personality. Don’t get me wrong, there are people in my field who post valuable stuff on there, but they are a tiny minority.
I always considered it more to be a kind of reverse tinder.
It’s the platform where women contact me to tell me they like what they see and to ask me for my phone number to have a talk. And once they have it, they won’t leave me alone.
It’s how I feel it must actually be like for women on actual dating platforms. Minus the unsolicited pics.
I don’t even know why there are recruiting companies on there when companies can just post their job openings and do it themselves. If they truly believe these recruiting offices are vetting candidates… I was once offered a job for an actual architect when I was a solution architect in IT…I told him I’d love to give it a try, even though I’ve never designed houses before. He didn’t even reply :(
Ah Linkedin, the social network every professional has to have and almost no one participates in unless they’re looking for or offering a job.
NEVER. STOP. GRINDING.

WTAF? I’ve never been more glad that I only remember to look at LinkedIn a couple times a year.

It is facebook but for the office. And unfortunately there is a lot going on beyond job hunting.

Unless you’re a narcissist desperate for attention and or a recruiter
It’s also great for attempting to digitally lick boot
LinkedIn, the social network made by and for the PMC.
I feel like I’m a class traitor for not having a profile on there.
