DAE think LinkedIn is kinda stupid? My sister has networked with people through there and had job offers as a result. You do have to sell yourself when you go for a job and LinkedIn is like a digital CV. However, it just seems like a glorified form of social media where people are obsessed with climbing the corporate ladder and flaunting themselves. The posts, man, the posts. Also the company that verifies users' identities, Persona, are operating from a dodgy part of SF and are known for ghosting applicants late into the recruitment phase.

::: spoiler rant I used to know a guy who I let have so much power over me. Now I feel sorry for him, because his life for the past few years has been climbing the corporate ladder by working unpaid overtime and sucking up to people in order to pay his mortgage. Yes, you've got to work hard and kiss some asses along the way, but it shouldn't have to be that way. I realise that him having power over me allowed him to be just like how school bullies might have their parents bullying them, and then they do the same to other kids.
