With its mix of jokes and strange anecdotes, Taylor Offer’s LinkedIn page doesn’t immediately come across as a place to get valuable career advice or deep business insights.
His LinkedIn profile is a journey through his career of “messing around.” During his sophomore year in college, Offer boasts that he “learned how to cheat the system” as a stock trade processing analyst, pretending to be busy while he mostly “chilled at my desk and listened to music” or noshed chicken nuggets at the Wendy’s next door. As an intern at another company he gave “a bunch of free swag” to his buddies – the “company definitely took a negative ROI on me.”
