Zuck Has Officially Lost His Mind
After a multi-year firing binge in which Facebook/Meta laid off tens of thousands of workers, guess who sends me an InMail to my LinkedIn account? Yes, that's right: a recruiter for Meta.
What software developer would even consider working at a place that will completely **** you over based solely on one of Zuckerberg's whims? I haven't replied to this guy yet - I'm debating whether to be professional or not in my response. |

you should do it for shits and giggles, see how far you can get in the process and how much $$ they'll offer, cereal.

It’s never a good idea to be disrespectful to a recruiter…

Probably for the best. When I retired 3 years ago, I used to regularly get contacted by all kinds of people who "really wanted my skill set", and I would have been happy to do some consulting work. The problem is, they all wanted me to work for free, and I told them "I'm willing to work for cheap, but I will NOT work for free". I guess word got around, because I rarely get those calls and emails now.

Only reason I use it is because my employer purchased LI Learning accounts for everyone in my department. There's some good content on there and I keep it on in the back ground. Occasionally, I'll even stop what I'm doing to really pay attention.

They must be desperate if they're contacting you.
