Do you humor recruiters who reach out with job offers? I enjoy my current role but take a “sure, what you got?” approach

No, some companies are sending out fake recruiters to lure their employees as a test.

Your only response should be "I loyal to my company and am happy where I am"

EY2 is that what your bosses are saying these days so you don’t find a new job?

I do!

I don’t entertain the no company/no salary information fishing attempt used by external recruiters. Otherwise if the company is something slightly interesting I’ll hear them out.

Never. They’re just a waste of time

Same! that is how I currently have 3 unexpected offers at the same time.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment.

I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?

A recruiter at another B4 gave me a number much lower than what I’m currently making. Should I tell them how much im making now, which is admittantly at the very top of the SC band, or counter with a range that’s more than I’m making? I hesitate to just throw out current salary + 20% bc I’d be asking for almost $190k for a SC role and I know that would be quite a huge ask for a SC @ B4, even for tech
