@Theriac @noodlemaz Although there is currently no expectation to be verified on LinkedIn (and I wouldn't deal with verification, even if it was), having a LinkedIn account seems to be the standard and a way in which recruiters "verify" one's employment history and connections, before talking to a person. Websites might make sense for people who have some kind of portfolio, but not everyone has something like that.

@Cassiopeia12727@fandom.ink @noodlemaz@mstdn.games Portfolios aren't a requirement for my field.

@Cassiopeia12727 I left LinkedIn a few months ago. At a certain moment it just didn't feel right anymore , just like I had that same feeling with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter before. No one forces me to have an account there. And I don't feel I'm missing out on anything after I left. @Theriac @noodlemaz
