Your Year in Professional Networking
You had 4 platforms working for you this year. Here's what they did.
💼 LinkedIn · Your #1 Platform
660M+
professionals were on LinkedIn in 2019. You were one of them.
200+ countries · Microsoft · Est. 2003 · Revenue ~$6.8B
💼 Your LinkedIn Personality
The Professional Maximalist
You used profiles, the job board, Sales Navigator, InMail, Learning, and scrolled the content feed. You did everything.
💼 Your Top LinkedIn Features
#1Professional Profile
#2Job Board (8 hires/min)
#3Content Feed
#4LinkedIn Learning
#5InMail
#6Premium ($29.99+/mo)
The essential platform. Nothing else this year came close to this breadth. But the feed is getting noisier and premium keeps getting pricier.
feed quality declining · algorithm rewards daily users · premium $29.99–$99.99+ · data → microsoft
🔍 Indeed + Glassdoor
250M+
monthly visitors used Indeed in 2019. For one thing: finding a job. Fast.
60+ countries · Recruit Holdings · Est. 2004 · Free
🔍 Your Indeed Personality
The Speed Runner
You searched, applied, and got out. Glassdoor showed you the salary and interview questions nobody else would share. Zero time wasted.
#1Job Search
#2Glassdoor Salary Data
#3Interview Questions
#4Quick Apply
The fastest platform in your stack. Glassdoor added the intel LinkedIn hid. Zero social features — and that was fine.
zero networking · glassdoor data varies · sponsored results present · single-use tool
🚀 AngelList Talent (now Wellfound)
8M+
startup enthusiasts. Every listing showed salary and equity. No other platform did that. Not one.
130K+ startups · Independent · Est. 2010 · Free for candidates
🚀 Your AngelList Personality
The Transparency Seeker
You wanted the truth about compensation. AngelList was the only one who told you — salary AND equity, right on the page.
#1Salary Transparency
#2Equity Visibility
#3Founder Direct Message
#4Remote-First Filter
The hidden gem. Small community, radical honesty. Didn't exist on the mainstream radar — and didn't need to.
startup-only · small user base · some early-stage listings · not mainstream · social features basic
🤝 Meetup + Lunchclub
35M+
members across 190+ countries met in person. You shook someone's hand. Remember that?
2M+ events/year · IRL · Est. 2002 · Lunchclub launched 2019
🤝 Your Meetup Personality
The Human One
You put your phone down and walked into a room. Lunchclub just launched this year and matched you with a stranger who became a collaborator. No algorithm did this. You did.
#1Showing Up In Person
#2AI 1:1 Match (Lunchclub)
#3Local Community
#4Goal-Based Networking
The only platform that mattered when the screen went dark. LinkedIn was the profile. This was the person behind it.
no job search · physical attendance required · host fees $15+/mo · matching varies · geographic limits
Your 2019 · The Full Picture
You Used 4 Platforms This Year
💼 LinkedIn for the foundation
🔍 Indeed for the speed
🚀 AngelList for the honesty
🤝 Meetup for the humanity
No single platform was the answer. Together, they covered everything — from the digital profile to the real handshake. 2019 was the year you learned that the best career tool isn't an app. It's all of them.
