I’d say yes, indirectly. It wasn’t through LinkedIn’s job search, but a college classmate of mine saw my LinkedIn post that my current contract was ending and messaged me on LinkedIn to come interview with his team. I ended up staying with that company for nearly 10 years. Good people, and while the client and tech stack could be frustrating, there was also room to be creative / innovative. I voluntarily left because I thought I had something better lined up. In another job I do think they had me do something on LinkedIn, but my point of contact actually found me on Reddit, answering programming questions and occasionally mentioning that I was unemployed. It was also a good job for a while, but I think the company let me go because I was about to get a benefits bump, though it might have been a minor clash with someone more senior regarding “genAI” outputs being introduced into the repository. They said it wasn’t anything I did, and they offered positive recommendations, but it was still surprising. (If anyone is hiring, I am unemployed right now; DM me if you want a resume.)
