I did not renew my Premium LinkedIn account just recently. I’ve actively been looking for 6-months. I feel co-dependent for not renewing, but nothing really happened previously. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Nahh, you’re good. It’s a waste of money.

Know that they’ll send you 1 month free offer in 8-12 weeks.

I think it only makes sense on the recruiter side

LinkedIn Premium is such a money pit for regular workers, at least ones like me (who use it for job hunting and not modern-day sycophantry).

I cancelled mine a while back. No regrets. No benefit either from the ‘premium’ features. The Linkedin Learning offerings were average, at best.

Since LinkedIn doesn’t have any competitors, I think they don’t feel the need to provide better features or analytics.

Agree, but there is a contingent growing tired of the DM from bots and sales efforts (I get it, I’m in sales but not a franchise candidate 😂). Best!

Only premium accounts can see who the job poster/hiring person is on jobs. That’s a 100% win if you know how to do cold outreach. You also get more connections to use which you can leverage for connecting to C-suite, showing interest and then being moved down level to the actual hiring manager. Work smarter, don’t be a cog in the wheel with just sending out mass job applications.

LinkedIn didn't find the job. But my listing and contacts DID secure my references and my bonafides. I wouldn't have secured an offer as quickly as I did without it.

This one is going to make some of y’all mad, but it’s so annoyingly unnecessary. The most irritating part is “is it a shirt day or a skirt day”…. Like women don’t wear shirts with skirts and men don’t wear shirts with pants. Shirts and skirts are not mutually exclusive. I’ll just leave this here.

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.
