Do you need LinkedIn anymore? 

Genuine question. 

How many people have you been able to connect with on there that are pertinent to the network you’re trying to build?

Have you all tried @icebreaker ?

I’ll be honest, yes. I did get connected to some great companies through Icebreaker, but ultimately got the job I’m in today through finding out a friend of mine was hiring for a role that I’d be a great fit for. Say what you will but network effects are strong

I think you guys will. It’s just high touch in these early days. Hard to ignore that you have high signal on both sides of the aisle

stoked you found a role!

that's success

want to make these sort of instances easier to see through icebreaker ultimately

LinkedIn. At the end of the day it’s the social network that people go to to let you know they’re hiring or looking for work and that’s powerful

That said I did manage to breakthrough with Coinbase and Thirdweb with the help of the Icebreaker network

@jachian in this case, did you mean network effects = linkedin, or did you mean network effects = your own network?

Excited either way that you landed a role! There are many paths, and happy that Icebreaker was a useful part back when you were looking earlier this year.

Glad to hear, yeah I am just making an observation and asking the question. LinkedIn is pretty cringe with their content but I suppose it still serves a purpose, just don’t know how it pertains to our industry.
