What Does ‘1st’ Mean on LinkedIn?
You will find ‘1st’ written next to the name of your connections who are directly connected to you. Either you have sent them an invitation to connect, or they have sent it to you, but you both are directly connected to each other on LinkedIn. When two people are directly connected to each other, they can send each other Messages on LinkedIn. And this is why they are each other’s 1st, which implies a direct connection.
Just like 1st, you will also find 2nd and 3rd written next to connection on LinkedIn. These people are not directly connected to you but are connected to your 1st and 2nd connections. For eg. If you are viewing the profile of someone who is not connected to you but is connected to at least one of your connections (1st), you will find 2nd written next to their name.
Similarly, the connections of your 2nd connection (directly connected to one of your 1st connections but not directly connected to you) will appear as the 3rd connection to you, and you will find the 3rd written next to their name.
