I joined LinkedIn in 2014 right after the company crossed the 300M members milestone (I missed that t-shirt by like a month or something 😅 ...). It's incredible to see how far we've come since then 🚀🚀🚀
Don't typically comment on quantifiable milestones here as they're all part of the process, but 1B members is worth making an exception for. Congrats to every member of the team who worked so hard to make this possible. The best is yet to come.
I joined in late 2012, just before we hit 200M (and did get the t-shirt, heh 😎), and yeah, it's incredible to see the 5x growth since then while maintaining high standards and a sharp focus on professional networking. (I won't claim to agree with every single choice the company's made, but at the 95% level? You bet.)
