LinkedIn changed some structure. This PR should fix it

self.location = top_panels[1].find_element(By.TAG_NAME,"span").text
top_panel = self.driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='mt2 relative']")
self.name = top_panel.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "h1").text
self.location = top_panel.find_element(By.XPATH, "//*[@class='text-body-small inline t-black--light break-words']")

You are only getting the element location, not the text.

Also, I believe it is better to follow along the __TOP_CARD instead of searching over the entire webpage.

You can do something like:

top_panel = self.driver.__TOP_CARD.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, ".mt2.relative")

note it's missing a '.text' at the end for self.location

The get_experiences() function needs more rework, as some of the data is getting repeated for certain experiences, while some data is getting omitted for some experiences.

Doesn't look like this fix works for the current version of LinkedIn.
