MBB & FAANG fish - curious if the kind of companies that reach out to you on LinkedIn are mostly similar companies(tier 1) or is it mostly messages from recruiters from smaller orgs/tier 2 companies

I’d say a mix of both. Have definitely gotten the tier 1 tech companies, as well as startups and smaller consulting firms

For me, it’s often other tech companies - mostly same tier. You do get the occasional one off from some unknown company but it’s obvious that it’s a spray and pray strategy and you got caught up in the spray.

I have not gotten consulting invites since I left, probably because they know I’m getting paid similarly and there’s no way I’d go back without a massive $ bump. I’m assuming tho. :)

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
