Why do you need to hide yourself because some people did not help you? If I get what you’re trying to say, you want to make your profile blank just cause someone didn’t help you?  
  
 That’s so unnecessary and completely illogical. I am assuming you have graduated recently cos you said placement. This is how the world is, not everyone will help you, in fact, one only very few will. As you progress in your career you will meet some really vile people and managers who will make your life hell. You can’t go into hiding for that. 
  
 Focus on yourself, there are no friends that will always help in life no matter what. I’m pretty sure even we don’t, everyone has themselves to take care of. Grow up and think about things that actually matter like your health, family, finances, helping out in society and improving yourself

How to Become Ghost in Linkedin?

How to Become Ghost in Linkedin?- Grapevine

I recently enabled open to work on my profile,
Got immediate responses from recruiters,
They show so much interest saying “ Your skill set, experience is amazing and this is exactly what we are looking at our company, please share your resume and we can take this forward “
I get all hyped and share my resume, and I get no response back. Almost 5-10 recruiters have ghosted me like this.
I follow up multiple times asking for any update. And I get no response. They don’t even say “ I have forwarded your profile to the HM and we’ll get back to you “ 

Some of my friends are also facing the same issue.

I’m a product designer with 11+ yoe, if anyone here can refer me it will be really helpful 🙏

Linkedin recruiters ghosting

Is it okay to mark yourself open to work on linkedin while you are connected to most of your company colleagues. Its visible to everyone and eventually the news will spread  in your team team that certain person is planning to move out.
I might even affect their behavior towards you.

Linkedin insecurity

Project manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

How common is it for recruiters to ghost you after multiple rounds of interviews and assessments (over months) by blocking your email so you can't even send follow up emails?

The way I see it - they don't lose much since they have thousands to choose from an applicant pool, but it certainly undermines the effort made my candidates to a huge degree. 

Or is that common courtesy, acknowledgement and in general being decent human seem rathee utopian concepts in this day and age?

Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Recruiters ghosting/blocking you - the new norm

LinkedIn has become a necessary evil. One way that worked for me to make it usable is to Unfollow every connection. Linkedin feed is 100 times better that way.
Anyone else has tried this?

I have found one way to make LinkedIn less cringe

Got a mail from my manager to stop using LinkedIn anywhere at work. Even though we can use LinkedIn for purposes other than searching for different jobs, but these people are getting too insecure because people are leaving left right and center. 

What are your guys thoughts?

Using LinkedIn at work

Finance Consultant

Matched with a female VC, got this long ass message from her -

"Hey,

This is a copy pasted templatized message 😛

Owing to the awfully high number of requests I receive on Hinge(and I'm told most females do- I'm not all that special), I’ve had to resort to this unique way of filtering. 

So, I've been advised by friends that the first easy step to weed out fake profiles(please don't take this personally- there are many) is to exchange LinkedIn profiles(I will be happy to reciprocate and share mine too), and even Instagram helps for a preliminary vibe check. 

I am looking to find the forever kind of love and then get married, so, even in general, it would help to understand what a person does, where he's studied etc. and in that regard some vague Hinge prompts don't help(if I was looking to casually date, perhaps, I'd care less. 😛)- LinkedIn aids easy elimination anyway since intellectual compatibility is key for me- I love what I do and want a partner who is just as ambitious, if not more. 

In the best interest of your time, I will also implore you to read through my dating goals- makes sense to connect further only if there's absolute alignment on that front.

So, let's start with exchanging LinkedIn and IG profiles and proceed to a more usual/chilled out flow of things from there?

Else, PLEASE UNMATCH WITHOUT REPLYING 😬

P.S. if you’ve been married before- no judgement, but, please unmatch."

Do yourselves a favour and never use hinge or date those who do.

Hinge has the weirdest fkin people

Product Owner

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

Software Developer

I am currently working for a startup for about 3 yrs now and they made me sign a non compete which states that I cannot join a similar domain work for 2 yrs post termination. I am currently in my notice period and have received an offer from a company in a similar domain with good pay and benefits, what should I do?

Does Non Compete really matter

Data scientist

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Lately I have been getting a lot of DMs from TA from various companies on linkedin. They would start the conversation with something like “We are really impressed with your profile and work you are doing …” 
Then they proceed to ask for contact details and resume and then they just vanish out of thin air. 

It’s not that I have a bad resume because whenever I start to actively look for a job I get interview calls right away from actual HRs who are hiring.

Is this some shady practice that TA people have been following to build their roster/database for different job roles that they frequently hire for.
