Think it’s the tact. These conversations happen one-on-one. Through recommendations, word of mouth etc. Best to find the names and reach out to them individually.

Also, “going freelance after years of full time” usually sound like you got fired recently. Most people who intentionally go freelance have a few gigs lined up.

They didn’t answer you because that’s now what this bowl is for. Go to the job bowl. If you have a question for recruiters about recruiting do that here

Any advice for a 3rd year risk assurance associate looking to break into a consulting role? I feel like I don’t quite have the tech experience (knowledge of SQL, Java, etc. ) and i don’t quite have the accounting knowledge being that we’re in IT. . Anyone make the switch ? What advice would you give ? Anything I should try to learn now or any transferable skills you leveraged? Anything would help!

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI. Late 30’s with a couple of kids. Is it worth it for me to seek a CS degree at this time/soonish? I’m not afraid of the extra work, and would go part time. Wondering if the eventual payoff would worth the effort. Will I level up quicker? Employer has partial tuition reimb.

Recruiters, do you ever delete emails from prospective candidates (who are cold emailing) without even opening them? If so, any tips for avoiding being thrown in the metaphorical and literal trash bin?

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
