What is the value you've had in return from being connected with your previous employers there? I'm connected with my closer colleagues through normal messaging apps.
- satvikpendem 3y agoAll my jobs are from LinkedIn, via recruiters for various companies. In fact, I use the number of messages I get per week as a proxy for how well or poorly the market is doing.
- lopis 3y agoMost jobs I used to get were useless and ignores both my experience and interests. I never got a single interesting offer through there.
- satvikpendem 3y agoWhat are your experience and interests? Just like SEO, or search engine optimization, there exists the concept of LinkedIn profile optimization. It includes things like having a good profile picture, making sure your profile has a clear niche (fullstack, backend, embedded, etc), having clear bullet points for each of your company experience sections, with numerical values if you have the data ("increased performance by X% using A, B, C"), setting your location to a well-known tech hub, and so on. Once I did all that, I've multiple gotten daily messages with very interesting offers. LinkedIn is a tool like any other, people simply have to learn how to use it.
