Have you considered having a second computer you set up like you're a conventional user? Have your main machine to use for everything except LinkedIn, and reformat an old computer sitting in your closet or buy a cheap netbook to use on the side with no VPN or privacy protections enabled just for keeping a LinkedIn account and a Google account to log into it with. It's a PITA, but it's likely a better situation than needing to look for a new job.
In my experience, maintaining any privacy safeguards on your end will lock you out of most of the post-centralization Web 2.0. Even if you sent LinkedIn photos of your government ID (please don't do this) and managed to get your verification processed, something else would surely break further down the line.
