Why do people put "incoming" in front of their LinkedIn title before even joining the company? Few examples I saw: "Incoming summer analyst at Goldman Sachs" "Incoming risk assurance associate at PwC" Is this the way to do it? What is the motive?
I’d say it makes sense for incoming interns, in case it catches a recruiter’s eyes for future internship/full time opportunities. The only case I can think of for incoming full time employees would be... networking? Otherwise it’s really just to flex.
Did it precisely for this reason! Helps catch the eye for recruiters in finance
Well I did it to flex. But that was many moons ago and I see the errors of my ways. But there are plenty of other things I regret more from my undergrad days, and none of them are my career choices lol
Primarily used for a flex of some kind
They want to look cool before they start working 60 hour weeks for like $15/hr at Pwc and Assenture.
Its cool to put in in their header, but adding the actual position in the experience section is another level of trying to flex
wondering why no people using "exiting ***..."
Saw some put outgoing intern at Google.
“Reneging offer intern at Google”
Excoming Back at 2AM
Sounds pretentious. However, nowadays with offers being rescinded this may be a risky thing to do!
I'm an incoming Ex Google, Ex Facebook Tech Lead (as a millionaire).
sounds like an incoming missile or warhead or something. "incoming analyst! hit the deck"
Hit the deck indeed
Weird flex
Weird indeed, but you'd be surprised by how effective weird and otherwise tasteless behaviour can be at times.
Weird indeed, I don't really see this going on in industries outside of finance/engineering.
