I'm thinking of exiting, any suggestion or past experience? I get so many LinkedIn messages from recruiters, are they reliable/effective? Or should I find a recruiter on my own?

I️ found my wonderful new job b/c a recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, so thankful for her. Just don’t let anyone push you around and mad you think that you need to accept the first offer or any offer b/c they are working hard to find you something.

Recruiters are mostly useless. They contact you and then once they have sent your BIO to the company they are recruiting for they disappear. Do not trust. Just find a position and network to get in.

Thank you

What if i found a position and don’t have a network there. Am I in Gods hands?

Recruiters are full of crap. I get 3 messages per day and still have yet to get a job. They all say they have this dream job but then you call then and it's a different town/city then what they posted, it pays less then I make now and it's a sweatshop so i might as well stay here.
