I dent feel sad for the NRI's.  They are pretentious. They will "feel sad" on social media and then go back to their foreign country. I understand their life to go back. But they  need not put on this act of "suffering". They  people are smart enough to plan their finances, reach out to lawyers to see how to get their green cards but didn't know that their parent will pass away one day?

They  pretend suffer, i pretend to empathize..

There can only be 2 goals here: 
 1. Reach 
 2. Catharsis 
  
 If it's 1, it feels shallow. If it is 2, it feels authentic. If it's both, I don't know how to feel about it

While it is a matter of personal preference, it is worth considering whether publicizing and structuring the discussion of a parent's death for content consumption is the most appropriate way to grieve. Alternatively, it could be argued that society has evolved to include new forms of grief expression. Nonetheless, it is important to approach such sensitive topics with care and respect.

Engagement profiteering and sympathy farming off someone's passing away is just pathetic and shameful.

They will stoop to any level if it gets them a few hundred likes and increases conversion to their actual business.

Stop gathering sympathy using the poor fellow please!

WTF is wrong with these LinkedIn influencers

Sincere request to all the so-called linkedin and twitter “influencers” to stop literally mooching off the dead soul to create content & gyaan around mental health. Please stop naming him and spare some dignity/privacy and respect for him?

It is enough of a shame that his name has been revealed in public. Why are we deteriorating it further? Is there no empathy left?

Legally too, btw the case is under investigation.

I don’t get it , I understand most of these famous people have achieved extraordinary milestones in their life like Elon musk or Maggie Smith, Michelle Obama, or Warren buffet, through hard work.

But the circumstances each one of us grow in, are very different. Which ultimately shape us and the choices we make. 

 So someone who you may only know from screens , why would you care about them ? 

Is all this part of gimmicks? Why do that? What does it serve? 

I am genuinely curious, not making fun.

PS: whomsoever I saw reading becoming Michelle Obama was always on first chapter .

Why so many RIP posts on celebrity deaths?

I mean, it's not something that's talked about often. But it's so awkward. 
What do you say? "I'm sorry, let me know if you need anything"? But you live 400 km away, how will they even ask you for anything?
You can't even comprehend what they must be going through. If they're elder siblings, they have so much to do, so many rituals.

It's seems easy from far until you face the situation in person. 
I met a school friend today after a long time (many years). He was talking about how he couldn't save his father during Covid. He needed oxygen and was tossed around hospitals. It took so much time to arrange ambulances. He blames himself for not doing enough that day.

Dude, I couldn't speak. We were in the same city when this happened. He didn't ask or reach out. Even if he had, I don't know if I could have done something. 

It's such a hopeless feeling.

How do you handle your friends' parents passing away?

Dual Income and No Kids sounds very attractive but advice from people in their late 20s and 30s is probably too biased to be considered sound advice.

Wanted to understand how couples who took that decision in their 30s feel today.

Do you regret it?
Do you feel purposeless?
Do you feel lonely?
Do you feel the FOMO?

And so on.

Any DINK couples in their 40s? How do you really feel?

I am a 37 year old female and my husband is 40. We were unable to have kids through normal ways and chose to not go for continued IVf after the first one didn’t work. We found IVF to be too draining emotionally, physically and also financially to a certain extent (although that was not a major extent) . We were also ready to take that decision to be a DINK because we felt that we loved each other and found our life fulfilling with each other, family and work. Having a child would have been great but I personally agonised over this decision for many years in my early 30s because we have been told that if you don’t have kids ‘you will regret it later when it’s too late 😅😅’ happy to report years later that we don’t regret not having kids at all - and we don’t think we will feel differently many years later too.

Why do female founders and other budding LinkedIn female influencers post their personal pictures(gym photos, selfies, random photos of themselves) on LinkedIn? It’s a professional platform for fucks sake. 

You don’t post these photos on Leap Club but LinkedIn is okay because validation. 

And nobody calls them out. Men are lost in simp behaviour and others ignore them.

I have doing a lot research on these D2C brands , these brands are burning VC cash in ads and influncer marketing. 

And what just for topline !!

When will the focus or plan to focus on bottomline !!


Are these guys playing for valuation game or they really want to build profitable business out of it ??

Please correct me if i m wrong , also paying influncers butt load money wothout knowing the ROI , i think influncer marketing is a bubble which is yet to burst and the next phase is influencer led sales !!!

Why brands spend too much on topline ?

I personally admire people who don't need to be on or use social media to run their businesses. But it's become difficult to avoid not sharing something ever so often to stay relevant. 

People have goldfish memory spans and seem to forget things easily these days. They need reminders that xyz brand/person still exists.

Plus I'm a private person and don't really like talking about myself much. And meaningful share-worthy work milestones only happen once in a while.

Any good examples of people who have grown personal brands without posting occasional selfies on LinkedIn? How about outside LinkedIn?

The only one that comes to my mind is Michael Burry, but I'm not nearly as good a trader as him.

How do you build a personal brand without being pompous cringe?

Product Owner

I am building my personal brand (trying to)
But oversight is, the strategy seems all over the place 

Do you/have you created?

1. What are the platforms you focus on?
2. Paid subscriptions that have help you in the journey 

Any advice in general is also welcome.

Personal Brand

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

In recent times, I've observed a concerning trend where numerous individuals, including some HR professionals, are posting job listings. Many of these posts require users to log in to their web apps, ostensibly to collect email addresses for advertising purposes and often demand an excessive amount of personal details. Unfortunately, a significant portion of these job openings never materialize, leaving job seekers frustrated. Moreover, HR professionals sometimes request comments like "yes" and "interested" without providing a direct link to apply, promising to "get back to you soon" but rarely doing so.

LinkedIn's feed also appears inundated with content geared towards gaining followers rather than delivering valuable insights. While there is a demand for followers, it often comes at the expense of substantial content. It's a situation that can be disheartening for those seeking genuine job opportunities and meaningful engagement on professional platforms.

Have you noticed this as well, or is it just me? I'd appreciate hearing your perspective on the matter.
