It's been years now since I actually went looking for a job. Every move I've made in the past few years has either been via a previous contact or after being approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. There's a lot of bullshit jobs on offer, and a lot of below average payers out there, but as long as you're up front about the money you want straight away, it's easy to filter out the nonsense jobs. My immediate reply to any LinkedIn message if I'm considering a move is to ask for the day rate / salary range. It's usually too low, at which point the conversation stops, but if it's worth, the conversation continues. As for making posts myself -- that only attracts likes and comments from previous colleagues. It doesn't contribute to future job approaches.
