Thoughts on this product from X?

Will this fly with the audience or will it change X (Twitter) into another hyper competitive platform just like LinkedIn?

As someone had pointed it out, most of the users wouldn't want their organizations to come across their profiles. But, I'm not sure 💁🏻‍♂️

I have a similar opinion. I feel it will take away a lot from the original purpose of the app.

What nobody is talking about is how they would rather find and apply for jobs on Twitter than on LinkedIn. For the prospects/candidates applying, what ultimately matters is where they have a better chance, and Twitter has its task cut out if you consider most resume drop job notifications on LinkedIn to be a black hole

But ultimately it's the companies to figure out their revert mechanism. It's of no use if they treat it just like LinkedIn

I feel it's for the better, people have already increased shit-posting for ad revenue, if more users find jobs from there no harm in that, for domains like cybersecurity, blochchain, etc people are already getting jobs from Twitter.

Did anyone watch GrowthXs Open day?

I can't believe the hype - the LinkedIn masturbation pre presentation was annoying. The teams were n00bs and presented like 7th grade kids in elocution (I'm looking at you Sama Patkar). The ideas were juvenile, classic Excel sheet circus...
