No recruiters reaches out to me on LinkedIn. I chalk it to mostly because I’m not in Tech, but what am I doing wrong? How can I make my profile more attractive to recruiters?

Yup

Make sure that your profile is complete and you have brief descriptions of the work you’ve done plus the software that you’ve used. If you make an update to your LinkedIn profile I’m pretty sure that it pushes your profile up in the search.

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
