Is the job market hot? I love getting hit on by recruiters.

Aug 3, 2021 11 Comments

Recently decided to do a quick test on the market. I admit I am from a second tier FAANG company but even so I'm getting a lot of hits.

Set my LinkedIn profile and I've collected 30+ recruiter contacts asking for interviews in a month. Most from tier 3 companies. A few tier 1s. May start interviewing soon. Not trying to compare my epeeen but I'm sure Google and Facebook get more.

I must say I really like this validation.

I also come from another non tech sector where the job market really sucked. I remember the days where there are hardly 10 jobs I could apply too nationwide and I was begging for a response (this was outside tech). I have a PhD too so not lack of qualification or skills. Once in a while companies still reach out to me from my old field and I tell them to fuck off hahaha!

Tech is good! Keep LC and next move I target to hit $500k TC!

L63, $250k TC, 6 yoe.

    Damn. The only recruiters that hit me up these days are from the banana PIP factory.

      Amazon. Get like 2-3 recruiter messages daily for them and AWS. Normally I’d respond but reading Blind stories makes me not wanna work there.

    Same here. Not sure what's changed and I haven't touched my LinkedIn since 2 years ago, but last month I had at least 2 emails a day, mostly from FAANG.
    Btw, be prepared to be roasted on Blind for that TC!
