As Wall Street obsessed over Microsoft's Azure growth rates and OpenAI accounting, LinkedIn quietly crossed $5 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time in the Redmond company's December quarter, up 11%.

LinkedIn is known for its recruiting tools and job postings, but given overall weakness in the job market, the latest growth is being fueled by LinkedIn Marketing Solutions, its advertising business.

Revenue -- $2.2 billion, representing 5.7% year-over-year growth and 4.5% organic growth in the second quarter.

Advaithi understood that business segment well from her years working at Eaton, the power management company.
