You know, I like how there is this view out there that anyone who's doing classically "business" or "sales" work is not actually working that hard. I know some recruiters. They aren't the world's smartest people, but the successful ones work really damn hard. They don't make more than minimum wage unless they place people.

These guys are cold calling, searching LinkedIn, crawling phone trees, and sending requests all day. When they can they're touching up resumes and doing screening/placement interviews.

Moreover, their technical is different than your technical. It's social hacking and networking. It's learning how to find better opportunities and better people faster.

You might not like that they're Ronin, and work socially. However, they're pulling 12-15 hour days to make their sale.
