Do you really think he's trying to sell himself as elite or just mention his past job roles? Sometimes that context can be useful, especially if you want to email him (which he includes).
I realize the point you're trying to make. I'm just not sure it's applicable here.
- icebraining 10y agoThat's the point: it's incorrect to dismiss status seeking as something only aspiring elites do. There's status in every group.
- MegaButts 10y agoI understand that people can seek status in every group. But that doesn't mean that talking about your career, in a status section that very few people bother to check, is the same as gloating. If OP prefaced every comment with "by the way, I was the founder of such-and-such which was acquired" and then went on to discuss something completely different, THAT would be status seeking. Instead, it was a very short, objective summary of his career in perhaps a dozen words. My point is simple: not everybody is status seeking all the time. Sometimes people are just trying to communicate with no ulterior motive.
