I ignored LinkedIn's "get complete!" messages for a long time. One night I sat down with the curiosity of hitting 100% on LinkedIn. I now have an "all-star profile", whatever that means, and in a top some percentage of profiles. At the end of the day, it just means more people look at my profile. It may be jumping to conclusions to say I get no value out of it — it's a mixed bag. More contacts from people I know about legitimately good opportunities, and them seeing my face pop up more on LinkedIn might play a role in that. But it also means more contact from recruiters, and usually that means spammy third party recruiters. I mostly just don't respond to them anymore.
