Seriously, is LinkedIn even worth it for job hunting these days? It feels like a content farm for attention-seeking posts about "how doing such and such taught me the truth about B2B sales" or AI flexing. I'm getting nowhere with my InMails. Am I missing the point, or has it just gone downhill?

You're not the only person saying that, I'm sure. It just feels different in recent years. I still check to see what people I know, or worked with, in real life have to say about things. But for the most part the platform feels very odd. Like you say, there's a lot of attention seeking by people struggling to become influencers or thought leaders. I once actually found a job through LinkedIn, but that feels like a very different era.

Yeah, the "I got fired and now I’m better than ever" posts are getting out of hand. But recruiters are still there. I use LinkedIn to track who’s hiring, then I hit them up via email instead. It’s faster and actually works.

I've had a lot of recruiters reach out with great opportunities via linkedin

In my experience, if recruiters use Linkedln then they expect you(as a candidate) to use it and have it accurately updated. Which can be a detriment to your early stages of job hunting. I know many folk who don't bother with their profile until they are looking for a job - but it does feel as if our Linkedln profile is used as a primary tool for recruiters.

Senior to Manager-level Data Scientists, what is the minimum set of skills and experience you require someone to have in order to train them to be a Data Scientist?

I have a handful of people from BI and Marketing who want to learn how to be a "Data Scientist" where some of them have stronger SQL knowledge and ability than others, but some of them have more exposure to languages like Python and R, and a little bit of machine learning exposure.

Appreciate the input in advance.
