But didn't quit LinkedIn.
- einpoklum 4y agoI have a LinkedIn profile up as a form of a business card of sorts, but only ever go there if someone contacts me personally.
- bart_spoon 4y agoI wouldn't quit LinkedIn either. For 99% of the time, it's totally worthless, and has even more of an authenticity problem than most social media. But when it comes to finding a job its actually invaluable. I was laid off earlier in the year with a large number of others from my company, and I pretty much exclusively did my job searching through LinkedIn. I made a single post about having been laid off (which was my first personal post on the site ever), and within 24 hours I had so many people reaching out to me with job leads I needed a spreadsheet to keep track of them all. Within 2 weeks, I had 5 competing offers all of which were better than my previous job. I can't imagine being able to do all of that without LinkedIn.
