So frustrated right now. I keep getting bombarded with calls and emails from online recruiters. They're super aggressive, and it seems like they just grab my name off a job board and try to hustle me into any open role... but then I never hear from them again. Am I the only one dealing with this, and how do you even get them to stop?

I just blocked them. There's no point in trying to negotiate with them; they don't really care about you or your job, they are just trying to earn commission. Block and send to spam.

The dehumanizing of job seekers strikes again. I'm not getting much of that myself, but a friend is having an awful time with them. She is far too polite to hang up and block like she should be doing.

Those unwanted calls from recruiters tend to come in waves. I had someone once tell me the pacing accelerates near the end of the month as recruiters have to make outreach quotas. Which sounds just dumb enough to be true. I just delete the voicemails and forget about them if they're more or less random. There's no point in conversing with them.

Does anyone feel like it’s difficult to gain acceptance and find allies when you’re a POC? I have attended happy hours, social events, and lunches, but I am not getting the same amount of traction as the other new lawyers who are white. Don’t know whether I should keep trying or just give up. Also don’t know whether it’s my personality or people at the firm. 😢
