Linked-in is very much useful for IT profession. Through linked-in i got job offer. Its help you to learn Technologies and connecting with IT People various Technologies. Who are expertise, Vice President of companies, Directors, Chairman, Managers so many of IT professional persons we can get in Linked-in.
It is a Platform of to meet relevant people to whom we need to connect and follow the activities, Blogs, latest updates of technology.
I tried to use this site to find a job. Unfortunately, I have to admit that he is not well suited for this task. There is no search by country, language, level of knowledge, minimum wage, no stop words, no query language. The site offers me vacancies in Norwegian, French, German, although my profile clearly states that my native language is Russian, and I can correspond in English. Now, during a pandemic, I am not ready to move to another country, but most of the vacancies that the site offers me are not in Russia.

The website is known on reddit as a scam due to increasing fake job post and fake promise of being hired. Paying will not do you any good, as Linkedin doesn't offer better chances only a chance of being rejected faster. It's way worst than any other service, it lacks any form of spam protection and blocks users unexpectedly out of nowhere.
Unlike apps like Indeed and Glassdoor, LinkedIn does not estimate the salary for a job, employer, and location.
Spams your email with 10+ mails a day asking to pay attention to something that clearly doesn't deserving it, like unrelated posts from random users of linkedin that you might not being even associated with, i.e. they use out-of-place general social media engagement tricks on a job-searching-focused service.
Be sure to set up filters on your email box, or it will be littered with junk emails.
