What Does 2nd Mean on LinkedIn?
You will find ‘2nd’ written next to the name of a person who is connected with your 1st connection and is not directly connected to you. For e.g., 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. And in such a case, 1st connection of yours, who is connected to you as well as to that person (your 2nd) becomes a mutual connection between you two.
Just like ‘2nd’, you might have also noticed 1st and 3rd written next to people’s names on LinkedIn. Out of these two, 1st connections are the ones that are directly connected to you, while 3rd connections, just like 2nd connections, are not directly connected to you but are connected to your 2nd connection (directly connected to one of your 1st connections but not directly connected to you).
