I have a LinkedIn account for quite a few years now after some initial hesitation and the bad feeling never quite went away given the fact they still scrape address books and other dark patterns.
I used to leave it on "not interested in new work" because I already got so much spam, but then I flipped the switch in March because I temporarily lost all of my customers at once due to Coronascare and I had to scramble for new work.
Most leads that I get that I wouldn't get before are pretty high quality I have to say. I do see that once a new job lands that matches my profile multiple recruiters reach out on the same day for the same job and I see the same opening repeated several times over.
I don't understand why the job market needs to be so opaque.
