As someone that works with a recruiting team we don’t care. It’s not seen as desperate but also not seen as positive. You can turn it on for recruiter views only vs the world.

After hearing all different takes on this, my own opinion is that it may not look desperate, but it looks kind of odd. I mean, if you apply for a job you're definitely looking for work, that's self evident. Or if someone happens to search and finds your profile, I think it just looks kind of odd and unprofessional to use what's essentially a meme to express your desire to find a job.

I have heard a ton of mixed views on it. Personally I do not use it, but sometimes I do wonder if I am missing out on things because I’m not using it. Hard to say really. I feel like LinkedIn generally isn’t as helpful as it used to be either, but maybe because I’m not putting the time in there like I used to.

I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

Additional Posts in Laid Off in Tech Support Group

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

I’ve been lay off this afternoon because low performance, it just two weeks ago I talked to my manager and told her that she’s micromanaging me a lot and I need more autonomy at my work. I didn’t like what they’ve done to me specially I’ve been redundant from the previous role before joining this company. I cannot sleep please any plan’ action and what to answer for the reason why you leave your company? I’ve been in 3 jobs for the last 2 years.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
