I'm seeing lots of posts about whether people should opt to have the #opentowork banner on their profile, and in the grand scheme of things, I don't know why this is causing such debate.
Does it make you look desperate? No.
Can it cause issues with your current employer? Yes, if they aren't aware you're looking.
Is it shown to everyone? Yes, but there's an option to highlight your availability to those with a recruiter profile (be mindful this can include your current employer though).
A simple solution...if you want to include it in your profile, do it. If you don't, don't. Perhaps we should be connecting people in our network, rather than trying to tell them how to manage their own job searching 🤷.
Just a thought.
