The Nvidia scandal thrust former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang into the spotlight. Other women also named Alice Huang are feeling the impact. One Huang said posting about her name twin on LinkedIn led to job opportunities. When Nvidia's Jensen Huang became embroiled in a scandal involving a woman named Alice Huang, an Austin job seeker with the same name saw an opening. She changed her LinkedIn headline to "NOT A SPY" and posted that, unlike the other Alice Huang, who US intelligence officials reportedly believe was passing information to Beijing, her most dangerous secret was how many Chrome tabs she had open. The joke took off. The post not only drew more than 800,000 impressions but also led to a handful of job solicitations via private messages, as viewed by Business Insider. One said they were looking for a chief of staff. Another said they were "connecting for the name" but saw opportunities to work together.
