Why are recruiters going crazy rn? The amount of emails and calls I'm getting. I have two firms where I've blocked multiple people's numbers and like every couple of weeks I still get LinkedIn requests from them or calls from more recruiters at the same place. It's driving me insane.

Hi fishes,
I am planning a switch so was going through some salary data for a software engineer. My ex-senior manager recommended me a website:
Growceed.com which helped me a lot in getting clarification about a lot of things but I am in doubt whether the average salaries of software engineer mentioned on Growceed.com really that much in top MNC companies.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm.

For those of you that have your own book of business (big or small), how did you go about getting your own clients?

Even if I did, I grew up in a blue collar town so any connections I do have there wouldn’t materialize into a client base. I’m a 4th year now and really want to start growing a client base but have no idea how. HELP. I do corporate transactional law in mid-tier market.
