I&#x27;m very happily employed anyway, and at no point in the 4 years since I quit LinkedIn have I struggled to find meaningful, well paid employment. If I had stayed on LinkedIn just maybe some amazing job offer would have appeared that otherwise hasn&#x27;t - but I doubt it. For 8 years as a member of LinkedIn I never had one interesting conversation. And I could say &quot;what if I moved to New York?&quot; or &quot;what if I learned to speak Spanish?&quot;  There&#x27;s an opportunity cost to not doing those things as well.<p>I understand that some people can find value from LinkedIn, but I just don&#x27;t feel that I&#x27;m one of them. I attend lots of meetups in London, and participate in online discussions, and that&#x27;s good enough for me.
