I've deleted my LinkedIn profile because the constant recruiter spam was distracting me from focusing on my current job.
Yes, it's good to consider if there are better opportunities out there but not every other day.
It's a constant temptation in your face. At the smallest of issues at work, you think about replying to that recruiter's spam. It's not productive and makes you think of the easy (lol?) way out instead of working on the underlying issues of why you're even considering replying.
As with news, I take a more focused approach. When I need a job, I'll look for it.
- hashtag-til 3y agoI've been considering deleting LinkedIn for a long time! The only thing blocking me to do that is that it is sort of a contact list that you can reach out to people you worked in past, etc. Do you use something like a fake account to access that info, or just ignore that completely?
- enoughjobspam 3y agoIgnore completely. I never got a job through referral in 25 years of working in this industry. The only times I almost got a job like that, the pay was horrible. Sure, that could have helped but I never had trouble going through the HR funnel, so my experience might not be good advice.
- treprinum 3y agoMany people who shut down their Facebook accounts now post the same crappy posts on LinkedIn...
- hashtag-til 3y agoTrue. That's the worst of it all. "Unfollowing" doesn't work as the recommendations for even more dystopian lunatic non-sensical content keeps coming. This[1] is a good humoristic view on the state of LinkedIn, but it is sadly too close to reality :) [1] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IHt9PJM8Md8 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IHt9PJM8Md8
