What do you consider to be a “healthy” number of LinkedIn connections? 1) too low 2) too high 3) just right.

TBH I didn’t know people worried about the number. But after 500 connections it just says 500+ so I’d say 501 is perfect across the board ha

Hi all! Currently in the process of a career pivot and had a question. My current company wants me to come back for a two week project in August. Is this too big of an ask on a new employer if I request unpaid leave for this time? I had asked them about delaying start date until this project is over but it was too far away, and I’ll start this month instead but haven’t yet. I don’t want to leave or start on a bad note so wondering if it’s even worth bringing up. Thanks!

Does the addition of “(level) II” make a difference to anybody? I am the only marketing communications specialist for a lead child-welfare nonprofit. We oversee four counties in two circuits.
