Bain & Company Got dinged after a final round AC interview with Bain & Company as an experienced hire with 1 YOE. Currently at $75k base salary and on average work 30-40 hours a week.
Considering $15-25k increase in salary, but double the number of work hours, is it worth reapplying to Bain next year or better to wait to apply until after business school?

Hoping to get in touch with #Peraton recruiter! I have about 9 months left in Air Force where I work in cyber defense and vulnerability management, have a BA in cybersecurity, sitting for CISSP and have lots of certs. Would love to chat with someone about opportunities. Hold a clearance and could technically start in 7 months. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you.

I don't find that weird at all. That site has gone from being useful and generally interesting to just being a collection of wannabe influencers and crypto scammers. But, there's still some utility in checking out the job posts. It's good for scouting, you can see who might be hiring and check out the organization's own web site. So for that it's somewhat useful.
Even if you don’t search for opportunities on LinkedIn, I highly recommend making sure your digital resume (LinkedIn profile) is up-to-date and attractive. Potential employers may still look at your LinkedIn when trying to determine your differentiators from other candidates. For example, any impressive projects that you’re allowed to add to your profile (eg. Code samples, design portfolio, etc., depending on your industry) could make the difference in getting you an offer. Any volunteer activities, awards, or certifications listed there can make a difference as well.
I totally get where you're coming from! LinkedIn can feel overwhelming with all the noise. If you're looking for a more focused job search, maybe try niche job boards in your field, or reach out directly to companies you're interested in?? Networking through smaller, specialized groups can also be a great option!
The way how I see it, Linkedln now is for the "recruiters" such as "we would like to recruit you, but pay a fee if you are interested in making money" which is more like "Recruit more people to make money than selling our product." It is honestly sad because a lot of people are desperately looking for a job non-the-less and are likely the target (such as myself sadly)
Not to mention, MOST of the jobs there are either scams or just there with 100+ applicants.
Not weird at all. I still think LinkedIn is helpful for networking, though. I just try to be selective about who I add. And, of course, there are other places to look too, like job boards for your industry or even some smaller groups online. They can be good for finding more specific opportunities.
LinkedIn Premium can be helpful with using your profile to tell you how your skills fit a job posting. I am aware we can see it ourselves, but we cannot see it from a software's perspective. For example, I saw a job where I felt like I was more than qualified, but there were several specifically identified skills and the software only identified one where I met the criteria. I could update the results by identifying those jobs the skill requirement was met. The "Am I a Good Fit" option is also helpful. However, I will always apply directly for jobs, not through a third party. Just my two cents. I hope it helps.
Use EVERY source at your disposal including LinkedIn. Don't skip anything. Customize your resume to match every keyword on the job description and send it along. Connect with as many recruiters as you can.
