Update (Sept 2026): This offer ran from January to March 1, 2026 and has now ended. I’m leaving the post up so you can see how it worked - and I’ll update here the moment LinkedIn or Microsoft brings it back! ⚡
🤯 I can't believe the day is FINALLY here:
LinkedIn Premium is... get ready for it...
FREE. For. Students.
13 years ago, Omar, Rob, Mike, Zal, and I pitched Jeff Weiner and Reid Hoffman on this EXACT idea.
And even though we won LinkedIn's "Just Ship It" Hackathon, the idea stayed just that...
...Until today.
Big congrats to Ryan McDougall (who I interviewed before he became VP... <cough> flex <cough>) and the team that brought this to life! 🎉
Because even if the world is incredibly tough for career starters right now, I'm proud to say that my alma mater still has your back. ❤️
So be sure to grab access - and then share with every student and career coach you know! 🙌
