Unable to locate element in LinkedIn using Selenium

$

I'm trying to write my first program with Selenium that logs in into my profile and then search for specific people or companies. Everything work fine until I want to enter profile from search results. My code is here

 public static void main(String args[]){

   ChromeDriverManager.getInstance(DriverManagerType.CHROME).setup();

   WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

   final String username = "username";
   final String password = "password";

   driver.get("https://www.linkedin.com/");
   driver.manage().window().maximize();

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/nav/section[2]/form/div[1]/div[1]/input"))
           .sendKeys(username);

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/nav/section[2]/form/div[1]/div[2]/input"))
           .sendKeys(password);

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/nav/section[2]/form/div[2]/button"))
           .click();

   driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ember31\"]/input"))
           .sendKeys("Bill Gates", Keys.ENTER);

   WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id=\"ember503\"]/span/span[1]/span[1]"));
   element.click();
}

It gives me error Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="ember503"]/span/span[1]/span[1]"}.

So, first I tried different xpathsand none of them worked. Then I tried cssSelector still nothing. Then I tried this

  WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
  wait.until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//[@id=\"ember503\"]/span/span[1]/span[1)));

And got another error Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.TimeoutException: Expected condition failed: waiting for element to be clickable: By.xpath: //*[@id="ember503"]/span/span[1]/span[1] (tried for 10 second(s) with 500 milliseconds interval).

So I discovered that selenium can't find every element that somehow takes time to load on the page. Can you help me understand where I made a mistake ?
