      LinkedIn is so fake

      It’s literally a profile for your CV. Of course it’s fake and impression managed. I hate seeing all the blah blah blah posts from consultants etc in my network, but I have had good luck with LinkedIn when it comes to networking.

        The only thing it’s been good for on this side of the screen is letting me know that free avenues of job hunting are oversaturated. Between linked in and indeed, any software dev opportunities would be flooded with resumes within seconds of a job being posted. Only ever got a hit using the job boards from the university I got a degree from. Too much chest-puffing and bullshitting for a normal person to sort through on the free platforms.

          100% understand. A lot of my role is engaging with different industry professionals and academics. The former are all on LinkedIn, with the latter being less so. I find it keeps me up to date with different companies and organisations as they post updates about winning x contract or doing y type of work. I don’t use it so much to actively find a new job but rather to stay aware of moving parts, who is where now, who is working on what etc. I could do this on TwiX or another platform but I don’t have those so LinkedIn it is.

      Linkedin is shit, but you just have to use it when you are looking for a new job, otherwise you just ignore it
