Former Biglaw Associate's LinkedIn Post Sparks Debate Over Professional Self-Promotion
A former Biglaw associate has drawn attention by posting his year-end reviews from 15 years ago on LinkedIn, a move that has sparked discussions about professional self-promotion on the platform. The reviews, which date back to the Obama era, include high praise from former supervisors, such as being described as 'the top junior associate' and 'writing better than most partners.' The post has been characterized as 'LinkedInMaxxing,' a term used to describe excessive self-promotion on LinkedIn. The post has been met with mixed reactions, with some viewing it as an attempt to relive past glories, while others see it as a legitimate way to showcase professional achievements. The use of brackets and ellipses in the reviews has also been criticized for potentially altering the original context of the quotes.
