Content: Some job-seekers prefer to keep themselves anonymous while looking at different companies in their industry, especially if they are researching while actively employed. ( Many employers frown on their employees searching for new work opportunities.) Sales specialists and recruiters also might want to keep themselves hidden while generating a big list of potential leads until they finally reach out. Generally, if you want to do a bit of anonymous browsing around LinkedIn, Private Mode can be a good tool to do that. Many newer users also enjoy staying private while looking around and trying to learn more about the LinkedIn platform early on. How activating the Private Mode on LinkedIn affects the LinkedIn “Who’s viewed your profile” section
The main disadvantage of turning on Private Mode while using LinkedIn is that it erases all the information you have in your LinkedIn “Who’s viewed your profile” section on the site. That means you can no longer see who viewed your profile, so you have no way to connect with all these people. In order to get around this limitation you will have to spend money for LinkedIn premium, and even then you still can’t overcome all the limitations of using the Private Mode feature. Keeping Private Mode on all the time will limit your interactions with others on LinkedIn in a big way. If you’re using the site for networking purposes, this is a major disadvantage of the tool.
