Hybrid role, it's all good if it's within your city. I'm in Austin and it's big. What irritates me about recruiters, are that they're calling me for a hybrid position that is either out of state or more than 50 miles 1 way of my residence. Really? I have my city and state posted on my resume. Do they read resumes or its just plain stupidity on their part?

Austin here too. Originally from Houston. Austin is a cute town compared to Houston! I honestly think recruiters are just trying to meet quotas with a “close enough” approach. The good news is you’re getting calls. 👍🏻

Good and positive feedback on me getting calls.
Never thought of it that way. Thanks for the great insight and positivity. Cheers.

It's a farms of people in another country that use bots to scrape posted resumes for them to spam with calls and emails. Basically, a boiler room with the participants calling themselves "recruiters.". Real recruiters aren't that much better, but these are people who have a choice between doing this or working as manual labor somewhere. I just use a call filter on my phone and ignore anyone that I don't recognize.

I find this amusing myself. They obviously don’t do a mapping and a lot of recruiters are based out of India with American numbers working in time zones for the United States. They have absolutely no clue where you are.

What’s Intercal? Do the needful.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
