Perhaps, but then again what does Linkin actually “produce”?
I thought the more interesting thing is the companion article about folks leaving Silicon Valley to work remotely in other parts of the country having their salaries adjusted downward. Folks on this site seem insistent that pay is not going to be adjusted based on where the they person lives. Mark Zuckerberg begs to differ:
“We’ll adjust salary to your location at that point,” said Zuckerberg, “There’ll be severe ramifications for people who are not honest about this.”[/quote]
lol linkedin connects a lot of people woth opportunities. and a linkedin profile vetted usually is enough and a replacement for a resume. ive been hired from linkedin contacts and ive reached out and poached people from linkedin. Also, it serves as a prescreen for who your peers and boss will be which could sway you decision to join company or not…Also, as one hiring vp one pointed out…Someone with 500+ connections probably isnt a fraud. Someone with 10-20…maybe more suspicious….
total game changer.[/quote]I trust a LinkedIn profile more than I trust a resume. If someone is connected to and get endorsed by their boss and peers at their previous companies, it means more than a few words on their resume.
