So the only "recruiters" I ever get contacting me are for body-shop type firms (TekSystems, Robert Half). I've talked to them and I tell them that I'm comfortable where I am, but if you can find me something better, I'm willing to listen.

And I explain where I am being compensated now, and explain "better" would have to beat those things.

They say "oh, yes, we can!" and then of course, the only thing that may be even slightly better is the rate, but all other benefits are essentially zero (vacation time, sick time, health insurance).

I would LOVE to be contacted by a real recruiter.
