Has anyone upgraded their LinkedIn Account ? If so, is it worth it? Has it helped you get a new position? Specifically in Los Angeles?

Never been helpful in terms of getting a new position, but v nice when you wanna know who’s stalking ya. Made a lot of first moves with recruiters that way.

No not worth it. I had premium and applied to 30+ jobs where I was in the “top 10% of applicants” and maybe one app got opened....

Use the 1 month free trial and then cancel. I found it worthwhile but not at the price.

Not helpful. It lets you message recruiters who you would otherwise not be able to without a first connection but they never wrote back anyway. Haven’t gotten a single call back for any job inquiries via LinkedIn

Agree with one month free trial.... if you hustle as in inmail the crap out of everyone in LA eventually you’ll find people that want to help you, even if they can’t offer you a job per se. I had at least 5 CDs/4 recruiters respond in that time, got a great network in a city I never lived in, and got freelance gigs out of it. With the option to become full time and fully move there.... then got a promotion in Chicago so took it, 4 months later I quit and moved here anyway without a job. Landed my dream one! However I’m talking Austin and you’re talking LA, so that may be irrelevant ;) my advice? Just quit and go. It’s easier when you’re there in person and things have a weird way of working themselves out when you think it would be more challenging. Also I worked at Leo.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
