Yes. In finance, pretty much all you do is proprietary and all opensource work must be painfully precleared, so most of GHs for people are empty.

Most companies (even megabanks) also have strict rules what you can and can't put on your linked in.

A resume is therefore crucial.

Fascinating! I hadn't heard this. Do those restrictions apply to resumes too, and are just harder to enforce? Or are they actually LI only restrictions?

Oh, to be clear, I don't ding anyone for having an empty GH. There are lots of reasons not to maintain one. I just like to see it if they do.

Resumes are much harder to enforce, so they tend to be juicier. But if someone comes in and starts spewing clearly proprietary stuff, its a huge red flag during hiring.
