Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into “hibernation” for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I’m still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company’s site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

    It’s pretty much a place where everyone pats themselves on the back.

    Only issue with LinkedIn is the prospect of finding jobs. I got my last job through LinkedIn actually.

      Same. I keep mine, but I don’t actively use it unless I’m looking for a job.

      I got a couple of jobs thanks to LinkedIn, I don’t know what problem people have with it. Yeah, the content is questionable, but nobody asks you to spend time scrolling the feed.
