Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

IMO LinkedIn is a garbage for mental health, too. Where everyone wants to show off their achievements to others.

Worst of both worlds, the one-upping bootlicking culture, the fear of missing out on job prospects fueled by economic anxiety, with corporate enshittification liberally sprinkled in, all combined into one giant pile of turd.

And I say this as I'm also guilty of having an account on it. I also want to get rid of it, but can't afford to risk my chances while looking for better jobs. Fuck all this.
