You can probably find a local job on LinkedIn but nothing decent remote.

I found my best remote job due to an announcement right here on HN. My 2nd best (and longest running) due to some open source involvement.

LinkedIn has been terrible in finding jobs. I actually tried to apply to a Google job being suggested to me and was shocked to see that I am being take to another portal to fill-in my data. I would have assumed my data being filled into LinkedIn automatically gets shared with the employees I apply to. Which means LinkedIn it not very practical.

This isn't true at all. We hire remote folks sourced from LinkedIn all the time. In fact, it's one of the best ways to find global remote candidates as most folks refer people they know, which are mostly local or centered around some economic area.

I guess LinkedIn delivers for you.

Since I work entirely remote my (previous) team is already distributed.

But LinkedIn itself has basically little support for this scenario. I noticed that although my previous startup was in SV they started promoting me local jobs as soon as I marked I'm "open for work".

I had to change my location to SV to get SV jobs but then some of those had timezone requirements, etc.
