In essence, it is the excluding the underprivileged, those who can not pay, can not grow their career faster on LinkedIn Sad, but true reality of many users on the platform.
I have tried LinkedIn Premium and simply won't recommend it. To see any sort of benefits you need to be on it for more than a month and the inmail restrictions aren't a good incentive to go back on premium. It is too expensive to keep up with per month, even the 50% discount offer. It excludes those who are already in a tight spot financially. Surely you can make it the price of a Netflix standard package. I am pretty sure you would then get an influx of subscriptions, however for now, I simply can not in good conscious recommend this expensive subscription to anyone.
It's too expensive, even with 50% off.
My suggestion is to focus on the standard version, rather than the Premium version, to have full range and logical functions first for helping find jobs for users. Companies have to do this firstly and then concantrate on the Premium version:) Especially the job search’s pages and functions that enable this platform to be used more worldwide. Let me try to explain with a simple example. After applying for a job many times, users are faced with a question that facilitates recruitment in the window that opens. The question asked here is whether we know 'English'. I may have answered this question 20-30 times in this process. Can't you save the answer you received and provide job posting suggestions without having to get that answer 30 times? This is not a changing skill:) Or can't you access the language information we provide as a skill in the profile? By giving many examples like this, you can make the standard version of Linkedin more functional and benefit your users.
So if someone is in a already difficult situation you demand money to resolve it. So humane!
Issue is that earlier payment was easier and now it asks for Google log in which is tedious and does not work.. Second pricing is not contextual and towards higher end.
It’s a rip off and let’s be honest a large barrier to meritocracy.
Good to know
I resigned from paying 99,99 PLN a month and now LI is offering 50% off for two mnoths. The itice? 99,99 a month then 199,99. Do they think I’m stupid?

1moLinkedIn Premium may not be worth the high price for several reasons. First, many of its features, such as InMail and profile views, are not essential for most users and can be replaced by networking and outreach through other channels. Second, the premium job insights and applicant information, while useful, do not guarantee a significant advantage in the job market. Lastly, the cost can be prohibitive for individuals and small businesses, especially considering that many free resources and alternatives offer similar benefits without the high expense.
