one can snark about linkedin, but it's an almost unimaginable luxury to not need a profile on it and it punks-off good people trying to make their way. it's best not to be cruel about it, as reality is for most of us our best is still pretty humble. that said, my personal definition of success is to be able to delete it, and I'm not there yet. something I've come to resent about tech and cybersecurity business culture is middling talents without real responsibilities squandering social capital on punk-ass signalling because there are few other meaningful differentiators available to them, and so they shit on people who can't afford to blow off recruiters and who have to maintain durable professional relationships that don't bear being meta- about or sarcastic commentary. sure linkedin is hell, but have some compassion, and imo build something better or stfu.
