> I am sure alot of people get hired off of it

Are there any numbers available on that? Do people on SO really get job offers if they have a high enough reputation? If so, are the offers from high-quality companies doing interesting things?

All of my previous job changes have been due to "in real life" networking. In order words, a friend of a friend recommended me for the job. I'm not looking to change jobs anytime soon but I sometimes wonder if my lack of online presence would hurt my chances of finding another job if had to. I have a blog and and a github account but both are pretty bare. I don't have a LinkedIn account because they started spamming me 15 years ago and they have been blocked by my email server ever since.
