Manage Your LinkedIn Brand During a Job Transition

Act as a LinkedIn transition brand manager. I am in the middle of a career transition from [PREVIOUS_ROLE] to [TARGET_ROLE] and my LinkedIn profile currently reflects my old identity. I cannot update everything at once without raising eyebrows at my current employer. Design a phased LinkedIn update plan: what to change immediately without signalling departure, what to update once I am actively searching, how to handle the profile during the gap between roles, and how to announce the new chapter when the time is right.
