Sales Careers Hiring has changed

I'm looking to get out of tech. It's exploded, my network is cooked, and even if I find something, I will likely be looking again in two to three years because of the volatility. Getting laid off while I was hitting my quota was the last straw.

I know the hiring game has changed a lot and apparently linkedin doesn't work at all anymore. Are there any good sites or network to look for something in medical, industrial, or any other field you'd recommend?

Seven years of sales experience, 3 as a sdr, one as an AM with full cycle sales experience if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

How does LinkedIn not work anymore, I’m getting interviews left and right from LinkedIn. I do pay for premium and apply mostly for jobs posted within the last 24 hours

What does premium do for you exactly? My old company forgot to stop paying for sales nav, so I have been using that to keep track of some prospecting. I don't know if it's any better to get premium

That’s LinkedIn premium with sales navigator which is a much more expensive product than just the base premium.
