Have you looked in to how to optimize your Linkedin profile? It's pretty important to increase your chances of finding opportunities. https://everyonesocial.com/blog/linkedin-profile-optimization/

I'll be honest - I've sort of given up on LinkedIn? Especially with the number of job posts that are just literally reposted every 3 months.

No, I never really have any luck with LinkedIn. I barely get interviews. Is it just me?

I've never had any luck on LinkedIn even before. It's always through referrals or direct application through the company's careers section.

If by luck you mean getting interviews, then yes, I have landed any jobs though

I have historically gotten decent traction from people finding me through LinkedIn but not the other way around.

It’s a mix bag but most don’t really know how to use it properly or filter out crappy jobs. I’ve landed more interview from outreach to me than actually applying. Suggest you really nail down the basics like bumping up your profile with meaningful keywords etc. behind the scenes it’s all algorithms
