It’s a slippery slope. I mean, I want a new job. But at the same time, I don’t want all that info out there. What says you?
Don’t ad. Apply direct. Separate email, number, name, always.
Just share the information that other people need to know and don’t share things they don’t need to know. Most people on LinkedIn have a worksona anyway, they’re not sharing their personal life much
Do not put unnecessary information in and use privacy nightmare websites/software (like LinkedIn) with maximum sandboxing and protection possible (WM, VPN, probably Tails). If your job requires you to use some app, get a separate device for it (though I still wouldn’t pick such a job).
Yeah tbh if you’re a software engineer there’s barely a way around using LinkedIn, I got almost all my jobs through being contacted by recruiters on LinkedIn. I kinda hate that my info is out there but otoh with every switch you get more money and I guess unless you’re some kind of whistleblower or government dissident you’ll have to live with exposing yourself to an extent or miss out on good opportunities.
