And yet, there are other people prepared to say they continue to be contacted by recruiters currently.

I'm contacted by recruiters not constantly, but steadily. But they all want me to accept a pay cut of about 50% for a contract role of 3-6 months half way across the country.

I get one a week minimum, hundreds per year. I don’t follow up often enough to know whether they are real and separate etc though.

Appreciate the anecdote and your other comments on HN. But I strongly suspect you are incredibly atypical based on your background and previous work experience in ways that would tremendously down weight the probability that any part of your experience with recruiters would apply to even above average engineers.

Thanks for posting this, it has made me reflect. I think that’s a fair point.

Yup totally organic.
