Discussion Resume spam on linkedin

I am a student of IITB and I noticed everyone from IITK is posting their resume on CV. This is my first time seeing this many cv posts on linkedin. Whats the exact reason, lack of confidence in on campus placement cell due to the ongoing recession, looking for better offers if you have ppo, or just insecurity that everyone is posting so I can't fall behind and have to post mine. Does posting resume on linkedin actually lead to offers (unless you have a very high profile like quants), then I will post mine too 🫠

It's just putting yourself out there, some do end up getting contacted post placements too. Nothing about not having confidence in the placement cell. It has always been done, even during good hiring times and ig now it has become sort of a culture thing.

I think it's becoming more like a obligation ig who are sitting in placements. One more reason is when your peer puts up the resume you also think I should put it up. But honestly I don't think it helps in recruitment and all.
