As per the title, total rookie move this morning.

Posted a job without giving it a second thought, my inbox is now pinging every 2min with at least 15-20 replies, DMs or direct emails claiming to be the person out there.

Yay for Mondays.

100% worse... They obviously can get my info so I'm getting emails, texts, what's app to work phone, phone calls...

Worst mistake ever.

I've probably made it 10000x worse by confirming my details and now opened my self to trillions of future spam

I hate LinkedIn. It's more filled with fakeness than LA.
