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?

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.
