Sounds like doing nothing is paying off for you, try a few more months of that.

Would you respect someone who wrote you saying “I see you looked at my linked in profile, so I thought Id see if you wanted to...” probably not right?

Agreed, it may come off desperate.

Just sprinkle your work along his/her commute. Map out their journey... it’s all about those micro moments blahaha. No in all seriousness you certainly don’t want to look desperate or creepy but this is an opportunity to get creative with your outreach. Think of how you can leverage this intel.

Well aware of that. I was just referencing a meme.

So I sent an in-mail that I guess he found clever enough to respond to, asking for my portfolio link, so looks like I'm working this weekend to make sure it's mind-melting. Thanks for the suggestions.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

In the midwest, talking to a small agency. If I take a FT role and possibly move in a few months, wondering if they’d be open to me staying on remotely. Everything’s been remote for them for a while anyway and will likely continue to be. Any thoughts on how to approach this scenario? Want to do right, but don’t want to be overly precautious either.
