question - haven’t been on LinkedIn for a long time so I had discontinued Premium. Since I last had it, it seems to have evolved into 2 options: Sales Navigator & Career. My question is not $ related, just do I really need Navigator? I’m just a freelancer looking for new projects. Any advice? Thx!

I haven’t had any ROI from navigator as an agency owner looking for clients. Everyone seems “anti-vendor”. I had a consultant run a campaing for months and had zero leads for media buying services. Referrals are still the only way to get work.

Did you put out any white papers or such?

I had Career. It was interesting to see who was looking at my profile and what my top job prospects were, but it wasn’t much help beyond that. I wasn’t actively looking for a job though so I can’t really speak to whether or not it flags your profile to job posters. Good luck!

Sales navigator is only useful if you're trying to pick up clients as a company but gives you a lot more inmails per month. As a freelancer I'd recommend the career version. You don't need decision maker insights.

Thanks very much! Honestly I haven’t used it much in a long time but need to now & feel like a lot has changed in the last 10 yrs. I get needing Premium to DM people but you used to at least be able to type in a name and see all the search results and now you only see the first few & to see the rest it seems one needs Premium?! Unless I’m nuts but that’s what it looks like. Will try Premium without Navigator then, thank you.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias?

Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.

I have an urgent situation that I need advice for: what job to take? I currently have 2 job offers.

It was sent to me last Wednesday and yesterday they left me a voicemail asking for a decision at my earliest convenience. Offer B (Manager): 76k with full benefits minus tuition assistance and only 5 PTO days first year (15 days after). Both companies said they'd groom me to take management roles.

And yes, will Nagarro match my counter offer?

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
