why was LinkedIn good enough for you?

It’s basically ‘Facebook for professionals’. I don’t love Linkedin, but I think it’s nice to see what former coworkers/people in tech are up to, which companies are hiring, stuff like that. I have quite many connections on Linkedin that wouldn’t be reasonable to have on Facebook. Still interesting to see what people are up to, IMO.

Getting offers from recruiters have been very useful and lucrative for me.

Whenever I’ve signed up for a new job in the past ten years, the recruitment process was initiated by recruiters who reached out to me via Linkedin. My email address is easy to find. But it’s very rare for recruiters to reach out that way. More than nine out of ten times they reach out via LinkedIn (at least in my experience).
