How to Message 2nd-Degree Connections
A 2nd-degree connection on LinkedIn indicates that two individuals are directly connected to the same person. For instance, if Jake and Ben are not directly connected to each other but are both connected to Isaac, they would be 2nd-degree connections. In this scenario, a "2nd" designation would appear on each person's profile when viewed by the other.
