[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that's a lot. Also, you don't get that number accidentally unless you have the kind of job that makes people really want to connect with you. [/quote]

Agreed.  I have fewer than 500 and I've been on since 2007.  I mostly use it like Facebook to keep up with people I knew professionally who moved to different jobs.  I don't accept randos.

My college-aged son tells me that kids feel it's very important to achieve 500+.  He has the same amount of contacts as me after 2 years.  But he is actively looking for internships and building a network of professional contacts.

I went to MBA school.  My school contacts are all on LinkedIn and I have started to see their college kids come online.

I don't have any other social media where people can link to me.  I prefer the more business-like format of LinkedIn vs. the hot mess of Facebook and curated image heavy Instagram.  I don't push updates and don't post goofy thoughts.  But at least I can be found on the internet if someone wants to reconnect.[/quote]
