LinkedIn locked my account and wants me to do ID verification through Persona
(piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)
I haven't tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.
I've had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don't want to use LinkedIn, but it's pretty much a requirement in my industry.
I'm not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona's ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.
This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it's being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.
Has anyone actually landed a good job on LinkedIn anyway?
In seriously asking. The last time I checked the app was full of low-ball offers, bots, and a lot of applications that the companoes completely ignore if you apply on LinkedIn.
It’s mostly spam these days and fake postings for ghost jobs, and then bots auto applying to those postings. I would say 5 percent or maybe 10 at most are legit. I have found a few jobs through there.
However since ChatGPT became a thing they offer near minimum wage now for senior engineers in a lot of places, salaries are half at best of what they were in 2024.
