When someone posts their job search on Hinge instead of LinkedIn, is it genius networking or a sign that the professional world has completely lost the plot? This week, we dive into a viral Reddit post of a biotech job seeker using their dating profile to find work—and discover that maybe the lines between professional and personal platforms aren't as clear as we thought.
We explore how social media has become your new resume, why 43% of people meet their spouse at work, and the uncomfortable truth about "pretty privilege" in both job hunting and dating.
Plus, Lorenzo accuses Tom of being ancient, Antonia reveals she's never had a dating app, and together we pitch Microsoft on our billion-dollar idea: LinkedIn Lovers.
Whether you're swiping for a job, a date, or just trying to survive the modern hellscape of personal branding—this one's for you.
