I've never needed LinkedIn in a 20 year career. I think you're way over estimating the so called "value" you get from this platform.

I have gotten plenty of value out of the platform - including BigTech companies reaching out to me. One offer I accepted and where I worked for almost four years paying way more working remotely than I could have made locally.

My last two jobs have also come from LinkedIn. Exactly how am i supposed to find remote jobs?

And I have been working for 30 years…

Because of an anecdote/data point of one? Odd take.

Networking is wildly better, but you know what makes it easier? Having a Rolodex of people I’ve worked with that shows where they’re currently at.

If you aren't sure where people are you haven't been networking with them.
