I feel like TeamBlind is the exact opposite of LinkedIn -- no positivity, no one cares about mission or whatever, the #1 thing is TC and WLB, and everyone is anonymous. And yet its posts are much more honest, candid and just overall useful than those of LinkedIn.

A little too honest, at times. To the point where when you interact with your coworkers in non-anonymous settings, you start to wonder if each person is actually one of the sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/anti-vaxxer people you've seen on Blind.

  I don't use non-anonymous social media these days so I don't see what my collegues act like online. But if my experience in real life is anything to go by then those people are happy to wear their anti-vax colours on their sleeve, even at work.

Indeed, they are total opposite. I wonder if these are the same people who show different faces. I wonder about these people on LinkedIn, either they are total hypocrites on LinkedIn, or they totally buy on the corporate BS. I'm not sure which is worse! I've had a career change recently and I joined a big American corp. I wasn't familiar with this type of environment. The level of bullshit and hypocrisy there is amazing. Fortunately, nobody in my team is into that.

  I think everyone's mostly faking it. At least in my experience even the people posting this drivel on LinkedIn and brown nosing for a promotion are totally normal and self-aware when you develop an actual outside-of-work connection with them. I'm also not sure whether this is better or worse!

  > I wonder if these are the same people who show different faces. I would be very surprised if the cringey people on LinkedIn are the same as the based people on TeamBlind. I assume those cringey "agree?" posts on LinkedIn are written by "influencers" as opposed to the engineers we see on Blind. Hard to be an influencer when everyone's anonymous.

  Total Compensation and Work-Life Balance I think.
