A recruiter from my dream agency just viewed my profile on Linkedin. Would it be a good idea to send them a quick message to introduce myself?

Go to their house and introduce yourself.

Yes, but act like you didn't see it. Play it cool.

I didn’t know Zimmerman was looking

No. Because odds are they accidentally just came across your page. If they liked you, they would've reached out to you.

Just hold onto that good memory and let that dream where they might actually look you up on purpose one day stay alive.

God advertising is the worst. Don't listen to this dork. Message them. Go for it. We're all just people. No one is better than you.

Hopefully it goes better for you than when I messaged that WK recruiter. Zero response.

YoE - 15, Hands-on EM, can code, do project and people management

Also an indicative range of CTC I should ask for will be helpful. Currently I'm underpaid at 20.1L as I worked in the same company for 12 years.
