Linkedln truth
LinkedIn Truth: Half the people you think are ‘killing it’ are also up at midnight Googling ‘Is it normal to hate my job this much?’, "HOW DO I WRITE A COVER LETTER" and scrolling LinkedIn like it’s a lever on a slot machine that will eventually win big.
The difference? Some sit in the panic spiral, convincing themselves that next quarter will be better (probably won’t). The rest? They stop the existential dread and take a big step.
If you’re spiraling right now, here’s your move:
• DM someone you actually admire (no, not THAT PERSON, they were the one who took credit for all of your work)
• Open that resume you swore you’d update last January ( it IS January again so...its basically the same thing)
• Admit it, you’re over this, and it’s time to figure out what’s next. ( if you need to sage your LinkedIn feed, its going to be alright, just don't light your computer on fire ok?)
No one’s handing you a career epiphany on a silver platter. You’ve got to make it happen. But hey, maybe start tomorrow, it’s midnight-ish , and you deserve sleep too.
To be clear I love my current job working for myself (and a bunch of clients and partners) I just scroll LinkedIn and give sassy advice when I am avoiding other work... like tax document gathering (UGH).
