Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

Haha. It was only 2–3 times, but when they learned how niche my skillset was/what tech I would actually work with, I think they realized it was a waste of their time (like how actively writing object-oriented code is a waste of time)
