I deleted my LinkedIn over a year ago and haven't looked back. It might be handy for sales folks but as a developer it's a cesspool of spammy content and dark patterns.
I’ve been thinking of doing this as well. While I do occasionally get hit up by internal recruiters, which I don’t mind, that happens infrequently. For the most part it is just 3rd party recruiters seizing on a keyword hit pertaining to something I did 10 years ago (“I have a great .Net role I think you’d be perfect for”).
Yeah, I get the "opportunity of a lifetime" about once a week, maybe once every two weeks.
From a recruiter in NJ about an opportunity in CA?
