LinkedIn is cancer
Discussion
Real question.
I've never joined LinkedIn
I landed in my career in the early 2000's & haven't ever found it necessary... until recent
Now I'm thinking about joining because I'd eventually like to change careers.
Why does it suck?
It’s still good for networking in general. But the main point I hate isn’t the networking or job searching. It’s the constant posts of people bragging about themselves or making smaller accomplishments look like mountains. All good to be proud of yourself, but often feels like a cult of people trying to one up each other with accomplishments. Just cringey really.
People who seek validation from others are insecure about themselves.
