It all started when a friend at a BBs told me that he had 800+ views on his Linkedin profile in the past 90 days... That made me curious on what the average number of views WSO members receive.
To get a better idea, could you include your status (student, analyst/associate, etc)

Now pissing contests about LinkedIn profile views is the new thing among college sophomores?
Jesus christ, some of the stuff said on this site is ludicrous
Just being curious...
How does the # of views in LinkedIn help?
Idk how this matters at all but I’ve gotten ~100 and I’m a student (rising junior)
Yeah - your Mom is showing her friends.
Thanks that’s what I was going for
I heard Goldman's cutoff's at 500 views for rising juniors.
I have 16. I don't use LNKD at all. Titles are R/E investor, Broker, operations manager for one rehab company, owner of my own property management company. It's mostly recruiters, people selling real estate services and insurance and shit trying to set up calls, people I used to work with, and occasionally my wife's colleagues.
If you care about that you're a nerd
LinkedIn is now garbage. I'd go so far as to say that if someone appears to be "LinkedIn successful" they're probably not all that successful.
Why so? A lots of HHs send inmails to invite to PE breakfasts (most of MFs do so), networking or interviews....
A lot of LinkedIn content I see is mindless self-promotion and inflated titles/jobs. It's semi-professional Facebook. Now, like you said, there are some good uses for it and some great users on it, especially in recruiting.
~700, semi-target UK student and did a spring at an EB.
Wow!
Profile Views is not necessarily a good thing. Whenever my employer announces layoffs, or right after bonus season I would get a sudden surge in profile views from recruiters for a few weeks/months. They are like sharks.
