Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.
Alright, I’ll bite. What would one use instead of LinkedIn
I am not a big fan of it myself, but it’s been providing me insight on the corporate world. I have had great job-seeking experience there, especially with the Easy Apply feature.
Recently, tho, it’s been shitty, especially with all the avalance of AI slop, both as content as well as job requirements.
I’d like to know if there’s a less shitty alternative.
Never used it. I just apply on a given company’s website, after finding out about the job on various job boards. I’m not even sure where LinkedIn is supposed to come into play?
Same here, never used LinkedIn and don’t see any reason for that. LinkedIn is full of self-promoters, none of whom I want to become.
Open job opportunities are posted everywhere on specialized job platforms. Just subscribe to job postings in your own field and then apply directly.
I just don’t use it. Not sure what exactly I’m supposed to be missing out on.
