Has anyone had luck with reaching out to recruiters directly on LinkedIn? I keep seeing this tip but I haven’t had any luck getting them to respond. Maybe I just haven’t tried enough times yet. Would love any suggestions!

I’ve tried it too, and honestly the response rate can be pretty hit or miss. It seems to work better when the message is really targeted to a specific role vs. just a general intro. Sometimes it’s just a numbers game too, takes a few tries before you get a reply.

Very true—I’ll keep trying and hopefully something will come of it soon!

Yes I tried for an overseas role and got a response right away. However they said they would check the position and get back to me and never did. So I agree with the previous comment, it is a bit hit and miss .

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
