Why would recruiters reach out to me, say they want to talk, then not follow up? Should I call them instead?

They’re probably busy. There’s a hiring surge

Depends. Was this for a position you applied for, or did they reach out first? If the latter, I think it’s fine to reach back out to them once, but move on if they continue to be unresponsive. My experience is some recruiters have quotas to fill and they reach out to large quantities of potential hires, move forward with a select few once they have their quotas and unfortunately don’t respond to some, then leave them hanging.

They reached out to me first

Either they're busy, or the position was filled, or they are trying to meet their recruiting numbers... 🤷‍♀️

I would wait a week and then send them a follow-up email. Usually they will get back to you

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation

Why is education deemed more valuable on a pay scale than experience? Employers will pay someone with a degree and no experience a greater salary, than someone who has exhibited the experience.
