I keep getting inmail from recruiters on LinkedIn for jobs where you need a comp sci degree such as process engineering, business analyst, process consultants etc. I have no background in comp sci and I work in investment banking. I made this clear in my profile but still get these in mail. Is it fine to ignore them? It’s just annoying because I am looking for another job, get excited about an in mail and find out it’s not what I want.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
