A clean LinkedIn profile is useful because people you contact may look you up, but it is rarely the main reason an MBB candidate gets screened in.

Make sure the basics are strong: accurate roles, clear dates, professional photo, concise headline, and achievements that align with your resume.

Do not pay for keyword stuffing or turn the profile into a consulting cosplay page. Your application, experiences, relationships, and interview performance matter much more.

Recruiters looked at mine, but I doubt the profile itself got me anything.

Spend that money on nothing and make the profile clean yourself tbh.
