The last 3 jobs I found, in two different countries in Europe, in the time span of 10y are due to LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is a great platform that gives the opportunity to look on how the market is evolving and what roles are more and more requested. It allows to find jobs and to be found.
Not everyone is in NYC, SanFra, or any other technological hub of the world, the opposite.
The majority of the people live in average cities if not villages where the opportunity to networking are rare if not absent.
Not to mention that if you want to relocate in other countries leveraging your skills, you cannot spend time joining events on the other side of the world unless you are rich.
