I never found a job via LinkedIn. I found a job via GitHub but I mainly found jobs in my personal network.

At first they were cheap startups, then they turned into better paying companies.

The jobs I get offered on LinkedIn are mostly paying less than 50% of what I'm making via personal contacts. A few can get to 90% of what I'm making.

I tolerate LinkedIn because I'm too lazy to have a CV and because it's nice to gauge how the market is changing by looking at their salary ranges. I also add everyone and ignore them if they're selling services / jobs I'm not interested in.
