    Hey! LinkedIn is useful for me, I just got laid off. And two weeks prior to my lay off, I got reached out by one Rep asking me for meeting and we just met and they offered me a contract. So LinkedIn is pretty useful for networking.

      I frequently get contacted by recruiters but never productively. They either always want me to go work in Saudi Arabia (wonderful pay but I’m just not prepared to deal with their BS), or they’re not prepared to offer a reasonable salary, or they haven’t even remotely bothered to read my CV and just reckon that any tech job is the same as any other tech job.
