Two things bothered me enough that I fixed them.

"Remote" is 4 different things wearing one label.

After you apply, you fall into a black hole.

Press Apply and the product goes silent. No status. No progress. No feedback. There is a list of Applied, but it's just a memory aid. The experience ends at exactly the moment you most need a signal. For someone shipping ten or twenty applications a week, it becomes a blur of half remembered roles and no idea which ones are still alive.

Let the filter, and the tag, mean what it says.

The Work type filter splits into four real options. The tag on each job card mirrors whichever option matches. Pick Remote, country, and the country becomes part of the surface. No clicking through to find out.

A real tracker, where the black hole used to be.

The Applied list grows into a tracker: company, role, date applied, recruiter activity, current stage. Signals come from data LinkedIn already has, view events, message threads, profile views from the company, application status returned by the ATS. No new commitments from recruiters. Just the bread crumbs surfaced.

I cleaned the surface a little.

On the job description page, LinkedIn shows a lot of things: premium features, AI tools, company details, headcount, company type, funding stage. Sometimes that side panel is taller than the role description itself. I understand why it is there, LinkedIn is a business and needs to surface its own products. But if you want to know how many people work at the company or what kind of company it is, you can click through to the company page. There is no need to show everything on the job post.

So I stripped the UI from what felt unnecessary. Not a full solution, not a redesign, just a cleanup. The kind of thing you do on a quiet Tuesday and tell yourself you will revisit later. This is one of those.
