In a world where job markets are becoming increasingly competitive, a new trend has emerged that’s stirring conversation online: toddlers with LinkedIn profiles. A recent post featuring a two-year-old boy’s LinkedIn account has gone viral, raising questions about the pressure to succeed from a young age.
The LinkedIn profile of a two-year-old, described as “just a kid, trying to find my place in this world,” has captured the internet’s attention. In his debut post, the child humorously reflects on the pressures of life, stating, “I turned two today and already started to feel the pressure of this world. With all the talks at home to get me into school. Hmm, the pressure is real and me ‘nanhi si jaan’.” His profile also highlights his goal to “network” in hopes of gaining entry into a prestigious pre-school.

The post, shared by his father, Sivesh Kumar, who emphasizes the mantra “Network is Networth,” has sparked a mix of amusement and criticism online. The toddler’s bio mentions his enrollment at Delhi Public School R.K. Puram and promises a weekly login. His father humorously suggested that his son aims to “rule the world” and positioned him as a future competitor to Elon Musk.
The LinkedIn profile of such a young child has not been well received by everyone. The screenshot of the profile shared on X (formerly Twitter) drew a variety of reactions:
As this unusual trend unfolds, it raises questions about the increasing pressure to achieve early success and the role of social media in shaping these expectations. For now, the toddler’s LinkedIn profile remains a lighthearted yet thought-provoking example of how far the quest for early success can go.
