Logged into LinkedIn today and saw a message from a LinkedIn recruiter from Google! Sadly I was logged into my fake account 😭. My fake is a 1:1 copy of my regular account except I changed the companies I worked for and school I went to (and location). How should I handle this? 🤔 Edit: Here's a post explaining why I made a fake linkedin: [Blind] Check out this post! Annoyed with my career so far. So I made a fake linkedin. Here's what I learned (Tech Industry) https://us.teamblind.com/s/rcqOpxC2

Why do you have a fake LinkedIn?
Added explanation in an edit. Short answer : to see how much prestige matters in linkedin recruiting
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
How is this a stupid game? I did it for information and now I know how things work on linkedin. I wasn't getting any traction from tech companies and wanted to see if prestige was the problem
Trust, the people that want to get it will get it. I’d suggest asking for a referral and using that to get your way in legally knowing your name is already on the recruiting radar. *and now I disappear*

I added my explanation in an edit
Your life is not prestigious enough
That's basically what I learned from my experiment sadly
thought everyone loves batman?
big deal. its just a hohum reach out from a google recruit
Tell the recruiter you are not seeking a job at this time, but you can make them an outstanding referral to a colleague with the same skillset who is seeking an opportunity like this.
Just did this. Hoping for good results 👍
^this guy bureaucrats
Let it go, Google's culture is shit nowadays...
Is Google even hiring?
Not true, I've had an internship last year and I know people currently there and it's still great. You old timers are spoiled af and just love to complain
Interview and IF you clear, tell the recruiter and manager that you were doing A/B testing using 2 LinkedIn profiles.
Uh… will just get rejected for lying.
reject the rejection
They actually reach out often, the problem is if you go thru the interview process and you haven’t done LC lately, there is very little chance you can clear it, you can try asking recruiter for time to prepare but likely you’ll only get 1 month.
I do leetcode daily so I have a nonzero chance of passing lol

I wanted to see how much prestige matters in getting interview requests. Apparently it matters a LOT
