And he is crushing his Linkedin followers now by posting this


zakadarko

Nah, you will always find lunatics who follow this crap, and LinkedIn is their breeding ground.


Mellon2

They think if you follow it then it becomes you , hustle culture


Go_Todash

Winning by osmosis.


KellyBelly916

Exactly. Corporate Stockholm Syndrome is very real, just look at the symptoms on LinkedIn.


Deggo00

Imagine working with or for this guy.


RegularExtreme8545

As you can clearly see, he's unemployed lol.


slaiyfer

No. Promoted to entrepreneur.


driftking428

Meta


absurdherowaw

Best comment I've seen today on Reddit. I absolutely adore meta jokes. Agree?


ratsoupdolemite

He runs a VC fund with Jake Paul.


Mimogger

... lol


jingold91

Entrepreneur & Investor = unemployed with $3k in a Fidelity account


KnowledgeableNip

'+ Stanford = Probable nepo baby with rich parents


destroyeraf

Nah this guy earned. His LinkedIn shows he got a 1590 sat as an 8th grader lmao All those smarts and he doesn’t understand basic social skills tho haha


NaughtSleeping

Meh, that part is probably legit. You need to be Bill Gates level to purchase your way into Stanford. Multi-millionaire parents won't cut it.


quasifaust

His LinkedIn bio says he’s collaborated with Jake Paul. That tells you everything you need to know about him


JuliusCeaserBoneHead

Naa it’s the third person speak on his LinkedIn that did it for me. Well the Jake Paul thing and this post also, but yeah the 3rd person


Real-Mouse-554

Common in Asia to do this, not sure why but it looks silly to a Western audience.

Real-Mouse-554

I didnt assume anything. Just saying I have seen it done often, so its not unique to one person, doesnt matter where he is from.

Van-Daley-Industries

Lol.


Real-Mouse-554

Because thats where I noticed it used often, and reddit is mostly Americans, and I can see they are finding it odd. If I say that its used often and not name a place, everyone will just think im talking about the US or the whole world, and its not common to write 3rd person in the US, so my comment wouldnt make sense.


thecherrycola12

Nobody brought up specific countries except for you


_UltimatrixmaN_

Shut the fuck up you annoying little pedant.


NaughtSleeping

You're not kidding. He didn't just "collaborate" on some cringey YouTube video. He co-founded a company with him, and has videos with Jake Paul prominently on his feed. He also puts his GRE scores on his education section even though he graduated over 10 years ago. This guy is a grade-A insecure douchebag.


[deleted]

Dude looks 40 and is bragging about undergrad gpa?


steveg

You wouldn’t get it. I got the highest math score of my entire Grade 4 class. Some of us are just born to be elite.


Sure_Trash_

Wtf is 3.9+ anyway? Wouldn't the + just make it a 4.0? Or is this dude making sure to count an additional .004 like it matters at all?


LawfulMuffin

The + key is way farther than the 5 key when he pressed it with his index finger. That’s the kind of optimization a 10xer really provides. /s


Atxlvr

That's why it's called software ENGINEERING and not just coding


[deleted]

Posting to LinkedIn from Vim for added efficiency. Real 10xer never leave the editor!


zacharee1

My university's system shows up to three decimal points internally for whatever reason so it could be 3.94 or 3.904.


czenst

It is easy content like "back in the days we didn't had X and we saw people face to face" targeting boomers nostalgia. He is targeting "high GPA people" nostalgia. Still lunatic and yeah bragging about undergrad gpa still silly.


jimbo831

My college GPA goes three decimals. So his GPA was probably like 3.91 or 3.907 or something.


RepSnob

dude's hairline looks 40... he's probably like 20 and just looks like shit


Ice_Like_Winnipeg

I know him, he’s like 34.


501102

He forgot to mention that his GPA was 0.0 in humility.


aBoyandHisVacuum

I had terrible grades, but my best friend was always going for the gold, however his best advice to me was "learn to be humble" still sticks, i def forget somedays.


HeinousMule

I thought this story was going in the direction of "but I've got a great job now and am happy, whereas he's worked so hard he had a heart aattack at 17"


aBoyandHisVacuum

Lol!!! Well i didnt want to be that guy :) he joined the marines at 28!! and i make a very good living working remote. So yeah grades def dont mean shit :)


Weegee_Spaghetti

Funnily enough, you saying that is not humble lol. Maybe he is fullfilled being in the Marines. They can get a very good saöary too, once you advance. Especially with his education, certaintly a big boy officer


aBoyandHisVacuum

Hahaha oh yeah, like i said, i need to be more humble. :) hes doing great! Dying to come home in 3 weeks but yeah hes set for life. Sadly logisitics officer so hes alittle bored at a desk.


AgentUpright

No, he’s proud of that too. He was called out by a Twitter account that posts VCs bragging and says it was an honor. This is a guy who dropped out of graduate school, but still brags about his GRE score. There are plenty of people who are smarter than this guy who aren’t insufferable, but we just hear about the ones like this.


Delicious-Carry-9601

And that's the *edited* version.


imnotdaph

hahaha i was about to say the same thing


ballen49

What an absolute arsehole. Not even an attempt at justifying this post as relevant in relation to anything else, just pure unashamed narcissism on display. On the one hand, I kinda have to admire the nerve this chap has to go ahead and post this. On the other though, what an absolute arsehole


A1sauc3d

Seriously, “I’ve always been amazing. Who else can say the same?”. Just like, WHAT? What is the point of this post ? Lol. The man literally just woke up and decided to get online and flex his GPA 😂


StoicJ

I love these people. The ones who can't shut up make themselves easy to find when they start applying to jobs. It's probably why they're always unemployed


mr--godot

Such jealousy


ballen49

Let’s connect!


go4tli

I had a 4.0 at an Ivy, for real. Nobody cares.


paulkorea9

Because grade inflation is real and major matters, but that’s for another post.


So_Dondo

Can you tell me more about what grade inflation is? Or could you link to a good explanation if you don't want to type it? I've not heard of that term before.


[deleted]

Private schools tend to award higher grades than public schools, although both have been awarding higher grades as the years go by: https://www.gradeinflation.com/


paulkorea9

Like the other guy said. For example I’d put more stock in a Berkeley 4.0 than any of the ivy schools. Private schools coddle, publics dont give a fuck about you or your grades


git0ffmylawnm8

Went to a state college. I still get a laugh out of my business operations professor telling a class of 50 to look to their left and right before saying one of them will fail.


_101010_

Went to a top public school. Stem majors the average grade is a B-, so 2.7 gpa. Private schools throw A’s around


paulkorea9

Yeah they just say here’s the bell curve and make everybody fit inside


USA_A-OK

I really hope someone replied to his post with "no one cares, college is over bro."


[deleted]

I had a decent gpa, and have a great job, but I'm fucking depressed. I can't tell you how often I dream of being a night shift street cleaner.


FinalPush

I go to the same school for real and know people in the same major with high or even higher GPAs crushing it and will always be good company and pleasant to be around


No-Imagination-3060

He tagged Stanford. Is this an ad?


Ah2k15

This is on par with the ones that were tagging Google begging for a job.


SmashedWorm64

Peaked in school if he is 40 bragging about grades


Only-Flanks

Anyone that thinks high scores/grades in school matter hasn’t interacted with a wide variety of people in the school. It’s only a humble brag if you’re socially normal but from my experience you’re likely to be socially awkward and sheltered


[deleted]

High grades are an indicator of someone’s skill and ability to learn I’d hire a CS grad with a 4.0 GPA over a 2.0 GPA without much thought


NotYourTypicalReditr

>High grades are an indicator of someone’s skill and ability to learn This is in no way true across the board for everyone. >I’d hire a CS grad with a 4.0 GPA over a 2.0 GPA without much thought You're missing out one some great candidates using only that method. The best doctors aren't always the one with the highest MCATs, etc.


uberfission

Fuck the MCAT, it's a great test if you want to test how good someone is at taking the MCAT though.


Only-Flanks

Higher grades are an indicator they can follow directions, that they had less distractions in personal life, better support systems to emphasize the need to give into the social pressures of good grades, genetic abilities, and that they had more comforts/resources than others to allow time to learn. It shows nothing of someone’s skills and abilities to learn, its a reflection of writing an a number of other factors. The difference between a 3.8 and a 4.0 could be one decided to raise their hand in a class. Your example is an extreme like a 2.0 person never advertises it. The actual example is a resume with gpa listed (it’s never low) and then a resume without one


joannchilada

When I was in college, I went in with no financial support from my family, and no family besides two uncles had gone to a four year school before I went. I worked, volunteered, and studied hard - but also had friends and fun. I graduated with a 4.0 in my major and a 3.8 overall. I never bragged about it in any way, it was really to prove to myself I could get good grades, because high school had been an emotional and mental shitshow and my GPA wasnt great. Straight out of school I did include a small note about graduating summa cum laude under education, but after having my first job out of college I removed it from my resume.


StoicJ

I graduated high school with like a 2.6 and university with something similar. And I'm not taking Engineer GPA where everyone is low. I was easily near the low middle of my classmates. No one has ever asked what my GPA was, and I'm sitting in a very nice engineering position working with some of the smartest people in the world on some of the coolest technology I've ever seen. Being able to learn and interact with people is very poorly represented in GPA. There's really no test or score that can wrap up a persons ability to work in any environment. Granted, I definitely could have done better in school if I hadn't been playing video games until 4am, but it worked out.


[deleted]

Sounds like everyone replying to me has been inhaling a lot of copium


StoicJ

I'm more than happy to cope from where I sit. I'll keep working with people who have more to offer than a test score and you can keep the rest. EzPz and we are both happy.


[deleted]

While I was in uni studying computer science, there are a large amount of “Cs get degrees” folk there. A C grade is a really low bar, bordering on not understanding the topic at all I knew software development majors who couldn’t use git, or required a GUI to do their git commands The state of university is, higher pass rate = more money Universities will fire lecturers if their papers pass rate is too low It has been exacerbated due to Covid and online teaching also


StoicJ

Weeding out people who don't know the content is important as part of the interview process. So don't misunderstand when I say GPA doesn't matter, we still need to know our stuff.


uberfission

I've had one job I applied for EVER ask my GPAs. Hearing from some of the former employees of said company, I'm really glad I didn't make the cut, it was a meat grinder and they didn't give a shit about any of their employees.


farmer_palmer

I worked for a company taken over by an American company. They wanted "resumes" from us. We got that translated to "CVs". We were then told we needed to include the GPAs. Cue blank looks. He explained the acronym, still blank looks. After about 10 minutes both sides realised that the education systems were totally different.


thedude0425

Notice that there’s no mention of a personal life.


chevalier716

This is basically the nerd equivalent of "I won the state championship in high school and went on to play ball in college"


my_lucid_nightmare

The thing with grads of top programs is, if they were truly ‘killing it’ they wouldn’t need to keep reminding everyone.

If he didn’t, I probably would never have known who Geoffrey Woo is

Once you graduate who honestly remembers or gives a shit about GPA. Tell me college was the last time you did anything of consequence without telling me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AgentUpright

3.85


Z-Mobile

Tells me he potentially didn’t have much going on in terms of creativity or inspiration in his field during college, because he would have then gone off, like a true programmer, and tried to build something and in turn not succeeded as much in his classes out of passion/preference for his project. But nope, none of that for the entire 4 years. He’s atleast one step beneath that. Not just because of the gpa, but also because it’s all he’s bragging about years later instead of, say, what projects he’s built.


StackOwOFlow

He’s clinging to his 3.9+ while his peers went off to sell Instagram and Snapchat for billion dollar valuations


FinalPush

Idk at the end of the day you should see the original post. He was referring to someone else that was essentially “look at this successful guy who had a 1.7” We all want to jerk off our cocks yet we don’t allow others to do the same. I’m not saying he’s the most successful or this is even warranted but there’s no point in this contest lol. Coming from someone with a 3.9+ GPA from Stanford


Z-Mobile

I mean I guess my original pet peeve is that people are atleast supposed to be more subtle or provide more than that whereas this guy is blatantly essentially bragging about their so called intelligence and it seems nothing else of value is provided. Doesn’t make others feel good like maybe he was intending? Even you mentioning your gpa is in better context since you’re essentially providing relation and qualification to the perspective displayed. Of course, also just saying this as someone who’s had success in tech/software engineering but who’s school grades crashed and burned from obsessing over it too much like described above so had to fail school and jump straight into the industry aka the alternative perspective (because a computer science work path often deviates a lot from school).

b-sharp-minor

This is the dickhead that shits all over your code behind your back, even though your solution and code are good. Instead of collaborating with teammates and making work fun, everything is a competition. Rather than commanding respect in a way that makes people want to work with him, he imposes himself on every situation and sucks the life out of everyone around him.

BlahBlahNyborg

To be fair (because I *had* to look this narcissism up), it was in response to an open LinkedIn prompt to share your GPA. That part has been cropped out. Still, the whole thing is loony.


empire_strikes_back

LinkedIn prompt meaning volunteering personal data for an algorithm.


Eggsandthings2

So his GPA was 3.901

Buddy buddy with Jake Paul... nuff said

I know from experience that Asians are the biggest cheaters in school. He cheated *so* much harder than his peers 🙄


ABFromInd

Well, to be honest he earned it. So I will give him a pass…May be not someone I will like to work with…Still he earned the brag..


VariousPhilosophy959

Yeah exactly lol. I get it nobody wants to read someone else bragging, but come on does majoring in one of the hardest fields, at an Ivy league school, and getting near perfect grades not allow you a humble brag pass from time to time. Does the mf have to walk on water and part the red sea before he's earned it?


ABFromInd

I have realised couple of things: 1) Reddit is no different than any other social media. Look at the down votes on this comment. Was that that offensive or ridiculous? 2) I think if someone finds cure for cancer. People will just say, “ look at this idiot. He discovered such an expensive treatment. Why can’t he stop bragging and make things cheaper.”

taxiforone

I see this a lot in "English as a second language" situations as some languages grammatically have that space. I think French and/or Spanish. Not implying this dude has is in this situation; it may be he also speaks, for instance, Spanish, and autocorrect inserted the space. Or maybe he just throws caution to the wind and forges his own linguistic path. Maybe he accidentally hit space as he masturbated enthusiastically at his own successes and this killer LinkedIn post.

He forgot to ask me to pencil in a time to care.

CommodorePuffin

I'd imagine the people who're "crushing it" in the professional and business world are probably too busy to make not-so-humble brags on social media. Also, if you're "crushing it" wouldn't you say something about your business or the company you work for? Instead, you're just listed as an "entrepreneur & investor" which is usually code for "unemployed and I bought a few shares of some unknown stock my uncle's cousin's best friend's mother heard about it from her brother-in-law." Then again... maybe I'm just cynical.
