Despite being a fun place, I walked out of LinkedIn will little improvement in my professional skills. If you are Asian or Caucasian, it's very likely that you'll experience the same reverse discrimination I faced during my time at LinkedIn. I sat through countless "diversity" talks and felt increasingly excluded from LinkedIn's hallmark "inclusive culture." At LinkedIn, there's a stark difference between invisible diversity and celebrated diversity. The celebrated diversity here is race.. the invisible diversity here is socioeconomic status, sexuality, academic background and age. LinkedIn will shove a narrative down your throat that encourages you to feel immense guilt and shame if you're a "privileged race." News flash, being Asian doesn't mean I'm automatically privileged. Not surprisingly, this leaks into your opportunities for great projects and promotion. I was told by management to underperform towards my quota-carrying role because it promoted unhealthy competition against less privileged teammates - in that case, salary me and I will happily underperform. Speaking of salary - don't expect to make a high one here. They consistently underpay the market because they want "people who love LinkedIn for the opportunity and not the money." I'll never forget the number of entry-level hires that told me they were working Uber, Taskrabbit, or depending on their parents to afford to live in the city.
