I find that I don't really learn much from Linkedin these days.

Most content, in my feed and from my personal perspective:

  • is (self-)promotional, directly or indirectly (main purpose of the platform these days / not a criticism)
  • relatively basic, superficial or common knowledge
  • repetitive
  • a bit annoying when a new algorithmic trend appears (same tone/cadence, polls, then caroussels, etc..)
  • or very meta, ie about how to (adapt constantly to) fit the mould of the algorithm to generate content in a different way to get more views

I find myself learning the most, from social platforms, on Twitter (combined with Reddit).

Where do you learn most from social platforms?

Obviously, what content you get is also a factor of the algorithmic bubble you are in.

If you learn a lot from Linkedin: what do you learn and who do you follow for that?


To be clear, this is not a criticism of the platform or the content creators (creating good learning content is HARD!).
To each their own and plenty of people get a lot of value from it.
Just focusing here on learning value from social platforms, and getting inputs from others' experience.

(Let's see how the algorithm treats that post πŸ€”

My Connects

Hi Charlie,
Love your multi-layered headline.. "Marketing people..." πŸ‘πŸΌ
I'm not looking for a role in agencies, but I have worked with a lot of agencies and thought it might be good to connect for who knows what in the future.
Best,
Nic

Talent at VCs

Connect:

Hi XXXXXXXXX,
we have a couple connections in common, hence references.
I was wondering if you could help me understand how talent depts work at VCs?
Are you usually acting as in-house recruitment agency for your portfolio companies, or providing fractional/shared people to support them?

I'm looking to break into working with a VC, to support one or more companies, as a GTM expert for their European market expansion.
If you can share your expert inputs I would appreciate it.
Nic
