The cringe post on LinkedIn about getting a job at Bigtech

Ranting. Just read a post about how a super-human struggled with the interviews and finally got an offer from Bigtech. That super-human wrote a whole damn essay on it and received 30000 likes. I knew it would upset me if I read the whole thing but they did it anyway. Now, I’m depressed. I have removed all 14 of my connections who liked and commented on this post. Any other workaround to cure my depression? CTC: 30LPA

I am sure this post will get a lot of backlash but still I want to express my thoughts. I usually don’t post anything but this just cross my mind. It’s been months now and we are hearing layoffs news from big tech giants Twitter, Google, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft. LinkedIn is flooded with posts from the people who got laid off. These posts garnering thousands of comments from people ready to help. My question to the tech community, What are we doing for our people who are not from so called big tech companies.? How are we helping them? I am sure there are people who got laid off from other companies need greater support in getting a job. All the companies right now are focussing on getting people from the former group. I don’t have any problem with that but it’s the fact that they were already on the top 5-10% of the tech pyramid. They were getting paid better than anyone in the market for years. They got the best facilites and sure have a good financial backup and savings. Even the severance packages they get from their companies is way higher than the market standards. Moreover, they are talented minds and already have an edge over their competitors. My request to tech community is to stop being biased and help people from the latter group to get some living(Job). They are in more need of our help and support. PS: This is just my personal opinion and there is no negative context to it.

"Don't judge anyone by years of experience. Judge them by their skills." Okay, but recruiters will judge them by gender as well. Aur aapne to dono bhi (i don't consider LGTV) mention kiye hai. And what is this new trend of ~gaslighting?

Hi everyone, I am an employee at a Big Tech Firm, and doing quite well at my job. I have few friends of mine, who are active on LinkedIn and Twitter, and use the company's name extensively and make posts and gain followers. I sometimes feel jealous of these colleagues and feel worthless due to them. Even though I am doing well than them in the job, sometimes I just can't stop feeling jealous. Any suggestions on what I can do?

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?

All recruiters putting up the same post over and over

Where do you draw the line?
