I dunno, it literally got me to a 180k salary (Eastern Europe based so astronomical) just by me having a profile there. I didn’t have to find a job since 2015 thanks to it. You might argue that the feed is shit, but to me it’s normal human behavior trying to stand out and abusing everything that you can (including feed algos), so I just don’t look at it.

I’ll be forever grateful to LinkedIn and I would never be in the situation I am right now if it hadn’t have been for it.

Wow interesting! I've being using LinkedIn since it first started, and honestly this is first time I have heard a positive story that is not written by MS or LinkedIn staff or related people. I guess a broken clock can be right 2 times a days. Still won't touch LinkedIn with a 10 feet pole since the MS take over.

A lot of my friends and coworkers from Eastern Europe share my sentiments. Every job I’ve had was due to being recruited via LinkedIn without me lifting a finger, starting from 1k euros gross per month, up until 15x that.

Seconded, my current employer found me on linkedin, and this is a much better job than my second place option.

Couldn't agree more. I lived in the middle of nowhere USA bc of my spouse and an amazing remote job found me on LI, circa 2015. Would never have happened otherwise

That’s amazing. I’ve never heard such praise for LinkedIn unless it was a sponsored comment.

[djoletina]

Unaffiliated completely. Maybe it’s just different here, but I’ve got a lot to thank LinkedIn for.

So this has to be a US remote job, right?

[djoletina]

Yup!
