Bullshit Jobs and the Labourisation of Work

There is definitely value to LinkedIn, for all the obvious reasons. It let's you keep up to date with new jobs, and old colleagues.

But you probably already decided that it's not valuable enough to keep you on the platform. Only thing I can add if you ever start your own company it's becomes over an order or magnitude more valuable.

~20% of my shop's jobs came from LinkedIn 2018. All those jobs landed by me surfing on the couch watching Netflix (senior dev in Sweden).

But I use it as hunting grounds. Can't stand how people portray themselves on LinkedIn - so much bullshit going on.

I just used it for exactly that purpose today. It's the modern successor to the Rolodex.

Yes that’s what I’m worried about. Too late now, I suppose.
