Personal website vs LinkedIn.
LinkedIn is the network. Your site is the home base you control.
LinkedIn is distribution
Recruiters search there. Stay active — recommendations, featured posts, and a complete profile still matter.
Your site is ownership
Layout, domain, typography, and story hierarchy are yours — not rented chrome next to ads and “people you may know.”
Different jobs
Use LinkedIn to be found; use your digital résumé to convert curiosity into trust in under a minute.
Practical combo
Put the site URL in Featured, About, and contact info. Treat LinkedIn as the hallway; the site is the room.
When LinkedIn alone is enough
If you only need passive inbound and never send materials to humans, maybe. If you interview, pitch, or sell yourself, own a link.
