Is worth to have a LinkedIn profile?
Recently I seen a lot of folks complain about the platform and the premium services. Let see what people thing about that
Getting an interview is so much easier when the recruiter reaches out to you and asks for your resume.
Sent cv to Twitter, got unnoticed for 3 months. Sent message to recruiter and was interviewing next week. The question is that once many people will start messaging, then even this will not work as it helped me to differentiate myself.
Will recruiters tend to suppress the compensation if the job is obtained through them?
No brainer if you’re a SWE. Will get spammed with opportunities (good and bad)
You ask if it is worth it but your questions don’t include with. LC plz
Definitely useful. When I turn on that "interested in outside opportunities" switch, recruiters flood my inbox. Not all from places I'd like to work, but if you turn on this switch 1-2 months before you aim to interview, you'll probably get some good places. I've gotten Google, Salesforce, and Grab, to name a few. Premium services are kinda annoying, but I upgrade when I want to reach out to recruiters myself.
However LinkedIn’s timeline can be utterly useless because it’s filled with self-titled gurus and life coaches. I tried unfollowing people but this just seems to be the culture in LinkedIn
Use it, don’t pay for it unless looking for a job or leads
How does paying for LinkedIn makes job getting better?
LinkedIn inmails to easier talk to recruiters and see details about jobs.
