I've landed at least 2-3 major jobs through LinkedIn. My current job and one in 2015 that moved me from making 5 figures at a local company to making 6 figures contracting remotely with a digital agency and it lasted 5 years. Also, part of this was making connections in the open source community, and optimizing my profiles, getting as many connections as possible. Taking on any interview I could get even if I wasn't interested in the job, just for the interview experience. I think there is a lot more to it than just throwing up a fresh empty LinkedIn profile. You've got to work hard to make it good and to make connections both on and off LinkedIn. And make sure you work on your soft skills, those have often won me jobs over more qualified candidates.
