Why Do People Say "ex-google" or "ex-stripe" in their LI profile titles?

Save the energy and just put "🤡", thx. TC: 200k YOE: 4 #gtfo

You know why.

No. It's a website for marketing themselves. Just because you think it's bad doesn't mean everyone should stop.

Microsoft fGep87 May 9, 2022

They didn't ask to stop... Just pointing out that it's cringe

It’s cringe but it helps people market themselves so who am I to care. If they start needless telling me then I’m annoyed.

Prestige

When people go to a less prestigious place for more money, they include their old prestigious company.

BCG tree1g May 9, 2022

What about people who go to more prestigious place and still mention their less prestigious "ex-"?

Apple kookygal May 9, 2022

@tree1g - I have rarely seen that . Imagine saying Currently at Apple , ex- Walmart

I'm genuinely curious as well. Is that supposed to help with getting more professional opportunities? Does that help with being discovered with LinkedIn search?
