How often do you get cold emails?

I was told that I received several thousand per day when I worked for a startup that evolved into a big corporation. It did not help that my email was in the ARIN/RIPE contact fields for our address space. I never saw them because ProofPoint and O365 rules quarantined all of them.

What's your public job title if you do?

I was a bit of everything in engineering and operations when we started. As we evolved I had a few different titles. I don't actually remember them.

How often do you ignore them

If I were ever to have seen them I would have ignored them. If the business had a need for something I would research vendors, who backs them, their history and then decide which ones to contact and start negotiating proof of concept hardware or PoC account creation to try out the service.
