Is a LinkedIn profile important for people in tech?
From my time spent on LinkedIn recently, I get the feeling that most users are in marketing / digital marketing, sales, product management, accounting, and recruiting.
Is LinkedIn important for software engineers, though? Or do people in tech meet in different spaces, say, Stack Overflow's careers website?
My newsfeed on LinkedIn just seems to be a never-ending stream of recruiters and product managers saying very boastful things about themselves and their colleagues. It's kind of annoying and I'd rather deactivate my LinkedIn account if it's not useful to me. It sometimes even feels just like a slightly more professional version of Facebook.
