I finally pulled the trigger on it and put mine on hibernate. Will activate it again if I’m looking for work, but hopefully not in the near future (just started a new job last month).
Depending on what you do for a living, it might make sense to leave it up so recruiters can hit you up proactively and or you can get a sense for what the job market looks like.
Parts of the tech sector are pretty slow right now, and I keep mine up to date. I’m not one of those nuts who posts crap, but linked in’s recruiting tools can find me and contact me.
Often times someone proactively contacts me about a new gig right when I’m thinking of jumping ship.
I get that, but I have not had any luck through LinkedIn even though I use that as my main resource. All the jobs I had in my career were through in-person networking, applying directly through their site or indeed.
