my friend who doesn't even have a LinkedIn just got hired before me and I need to process that
don't mean this as a knock on him genuinely. We graduated the same year, same field, he never had a LinkedIn, never optimized his resume, applied to like 12 jobs total. Got an offer in week 6. I have been at this for 4 months, LinkedIn completely filled out, resume through 3 different review services, 200+ applications. I know this is survivorship bias and networking and luck and a lot of other things. I know. But sitting with this feels bad. Is it all just who you know at the end of the day
