I’m convinced that the Open to Work banner on LinkedIn is basically a Please Lowball Me sign for recruiters. The second I put it on, the quality of outreaches dropped and the salary ranges being offered suddenly plummeted by 20%. Does anyone actually find the banner helpful, or is it better to stay discreet?

I’ve heard that from a few people. It’s weird, it should help, but sometimes it feels like it sends the wrong signal. I’ve leaned more toward keeping it discreet and being selective with conversations.

I would say it's gotten me more messages, but not more quality messages. I leave the option where I'm only visably looking to work on to recruiters now.

I’ve always been told not to put that up for tha reason

I’m highly disappointed about the fact that whenever I talk to the HR teams or recruiters about joining bonus, they state there’s no provision.
