Do you take all recruiter calls or only ones you’re truly interested in? If you take them all, when do you end the conversation if you’re not interested? After the first recruiter call? After interviewing? Waiting til you get an offer for kicks?

I try to take them all cause you never know where that recruiter might end up.

I take the ones that seem somewhat interesting. You never know what’s going to come of them. If it’s not interesting after that I let them know and say thank you politely.

Laughing at these comments. Somehow I’ve heard from three recruiters, one was for pharma and the other two were for agencies in the Midwest.

I need to be at least like, 30% intrigued or else I’m wasting both our times. I try to get as much out of them via email or LinkedIn first.

I used to take them all and got tired of hearing words like pharma, B2B, Milwaukee, Miami, etc. If the initial contact is at least slightly personalized beyond an obvious template, I'll take the call. But usually 15 minutes is as far we go.

Typically I screen all of my calls because of robo calls. If it’s super important, they’ll email me or send voicemail. Then I can call or email back.

Who is getting multiple calls from recruiters? LMAO 🤣

Turn on the feature on LinkedIn. Get hit up.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
