Is LinkedIn Premium necessary?

LinkedIn Premium plans aren’t cheap. This is why I took the most affordable one that fits my immediate professional objectives.

Although I have always felt that I’m paying more than it was worth, I’ve used it for about two years. With the economic downturn that COVID-19 has brought to the fore, work and profitability have become more uncertain. I’m not so sure anymore. It looked pricier than before. It has become less attractive, a good candidate to cutting corners. After all, three hundred sixty dollars a year can be used for something else. It will be like stopping subscription to certain applications and plugins that’s used only once in a while. It’s a form of housekeeping. What do you think?

I am not renewing my subscription starting this month. I was hoping LinkedIn premium will reduce its pricing but they did not. Why would one pay CAD$30, $60, $80 or even CAD$120 per month at this time? Do we still need access to LinkedIn Premium’s special features and data? Maybe not…

Well, I guess I’ll see you guys next time using the free version. If you think otherwise, can anyone highlight the top benefits that I’ve not thought of?
