I changed my title to simply "employee" on Linkedin and get waaay less cold calls/emails. Putting anything IT related seems to be carte blanche for recruiters to send you anything they have. CTO for Microsoft? Are you interested in this $5/hr. 3 month contract? Obnoxious
- pentae 7y agoI deleted my LinkedIn profile a few years back and haven't looked back. It's cathartic. I honestly don't see the reason to have it unless you're actively looking for a new role. Speaking of obnoxious - they don't let you hide your profile either, you have to completely delete it.
