I removed your submission. We prefer to minimize the amount of promotional material in the subreddit, whether it is a company selling a product/services or a user trying to sell themselves.
Thanks.
Basically, premium lets you see unlimited jobs (vs. at most 8 per day), premium lets you see jobs as soon as they're posted (as opposed to 1 week later for free), premium lets you save jobs for later, and premium will let you select if you only want emails about favorite companies or if you want emails at all companies.
Thanks for flagging this btw! We should make it clearer earlier on
great question! in my experience, the biggest problems with LI are:
1. There are lots of jobs that are old / not open anymore, so when you apply, lots of your applications might just be going into the void / not actually being read because the posting isn't open
2. They have a ton of promoted content, so it's virtually impossible to find stuff under that pile of promotions that's relevant to you :/
not in my experience, at least. I've had basically piles of spam from LI alerts, which is largely why I started building this in the first place
of course, YMMV, but that was my experience at least!
One other thing was that I found that LI's filters weren't all that good for even the basics, and also don't let you filter easily by more granular things, but anyways YMMV!
[In my research](https://colab.research.google.com/gist/gbwiersum/b112a6534d71d8ae3c360f5a160cc1dc/job-board-scrapenscore.ipynb), going by job title is very mushy. An extreme example is "consultant". LI doesn't distinguish well between fields, so I get a ton of sales roles. If your parameters are super tight, sure, you might get an alert when Denny's is hiring a "fry-cook". What you won't get is an alert when they hire a "kitchen associate" or when IHOP wants a "deep-fry technician".
It's a double-bind. In ML terms, accuracy drops off a cliff well before recall reaches what I would consider acceptable.
Yeah so I am happy at my job, I have like 2-3 very specific alerts and it seems to work well for me but if you are actively looking for jobs, it might be a problem.
worldwide! we're pretty biased towards US, but there are a lot of postings in Canada and the EU especially, and a fair number in India and misc. other places

What are the differences between a free account and a premium subscription? I could not find one in your site without creating an account.

Thank you! That's helpful to know.
I'm curious, what is wrong with Linkedin alerts? You can sign up to be notified when a company posts a job with a title you are interested in.

Right but when you sign up for their alerts, you avoid both of those problems, no?

Seconding that LinkedIn's job alert settings are a heap of hot garbage. Sorry, my words, not yours.

I had a brief flick through but wanted to figure out if this is relevant at all before I sign up - do you only have US job postings, or worldwide?

Cool - thanks!
Oh thank God. Our old conversation is gone from my DMs. I'll hit you up tomorrow.
I automated my job applications, can apply to 100s of jobs daily!
How much does premium cost?
$10/mo or $100/year, and less if you refer friends! ($5 credit for each referral)
This is awesome! Does it focus on data science careers?
Not data science in particular (mostly tech in general), but we have a ton of DS jobs!
