And to get tons of unsolicited connection requests from random head hunters.
I had a headhunter complain to me on LinkedIn about ignoring their connection request, as if I owe them something. They really are unhinged sometimes.
I had that too, but it was obvious scammer also
I had one complain that I was being unreasonable with the salary I wanted for frelanance/contract positions, this was just before I got a job at a consulting firm, I checked my charge out rate and it’s twice what I asked for, probably more now.
I ghost them now if they’re overly pushy or give off vibes. I avoid the feed as well, just absolutely unhinged.
Small price to pay, imo. When my job was forcing everyone back into the office in 2021 I just picked out one of the headhunters who contacted me on linkedin, got an offer for a remote position with better pay, and brought it to my employer to get a raise and the go-ahead to keep working remotely. I’ll suffer the occasional spam email for the knowledge that I have options for another job lined up pretty much whenever.
That’s how I got a 6 figure salary lol
I have a 6 figure salary and never used LinkedIn. I’ve changed jobs 3 times in the last 5 years.
There are also bogus job postings that are trying to prey on you. Not exactly sure why. But it’s low.
