They just call me LinkedIn guy, though it is a lot more than that! :D
Anil Yarimca
@haralds_gabrans_zukovs Haha, the struggle is real! I wish I could be upgraded to the "LinkedIn Guy" in my family too! πŸ˜„
Haralds Gabrāns Zukovs
@h_anil_yarimca Well, that is an upgrade before it was just a guy by the laptop the whole day... :D

β€œI work on internet”, my parents are teachers so there is no way for me to try to explain them the goal of LinkedIn automation for sales prospecting
Anil Yarimca
@samuel_rondot Totally feeling it! πŸ˜„

They're convinced I'm just messing around on the computer all day till last year. And don't even get me started on working from home – they think I'm on permanent vacation! But hey, at least I used to get some quality family time, even if it involves a lot of interrupted "work"! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜‚

Haha love this, this is funny. Tried to explain Investment Banking once to my family before and in the ended decided to just wrap up the conversation and said "you know what, it's accounting" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
Anil Yarimca
@nolan_wang Haha, sometimes simplicity is key! "It's accounting" covers all bases! πŸ˜„
