I am looking for new jobs as a Cloud Engineer. Being privacy conscious makes the job hunt relatively hard. I don’t use LinkedIn. But most companies publish their openings on websites like this and almost all of them are a privacy nightmare.
As soon as you make an account on them, you are bombarded with thousands of emails and targeted ads. But if I made a temporary email for this purpose, I feel I might get blacklisted.
Honestly I feel kind of sad about today’s corporate field.
A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Just a warning that LinkedIn and the like try to link your private and corporate information.
Its true but they also aren’t accounting for people actively trying to prevent that. Like someone else said below, dedicated email, dedicated phone number, use containers in your browser, use a work profile on your phone, etc. It may raise red flags somewhere but it is what it is.
That’s what I do, but they tied my work email to my LinkedIn profile anyway… I keep my personal life offline aside from work and use pseudonyms on systems like this, so they aren’t linking the rest of my life, but they didn’t have any issues tying down my professional identity.
Like they went and investigated you to find out what your work email is and then applied it to your profile without your consent?
It’s not in my profile, but if you search my work address, my profile is the single result.
