Any tips on how to get recruiters to stop contacting me?
I’m finally in a job I’m really happy with, but constantly get phone calls / LinkedIn messaged / emails.
No matter how much I go back and say I’m not interested I still get calls and messages!!
I don’t want to block numbers incase I do need to use them again in the future. I don’t want to cause bad blood but it is so annoying!!

Can you make a little copypasta and keep it saved in your phone for when they reach out? Something that explains that you're thankful for their message but you are currently employed and will happily reach out again if the need arises in the future? That way you're not having to re-create the wheel every single time but they get the message without it being rude or dismissive. Congrats on the new job, by the way!

Block the ones you don't think will benefit you down the road, ignore the ones that might. I realize this isn't helpful now, but set up a Google Voice number and email the next time you're on the hunt. Only use them for applications. Once you're settled into a role, just silence notifications.

I feel this so much. It’s flattering at first, then just annoying. A simple “I’m not open right now but happy to reconnect later” is usually enough, and letting unknown calls go to voicemail helps. Setting that boundary isn’t burning bridges at all.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
