Recruiters contacting you means nothing. Anyone who has put out their resumes on linkedin, job websites etc. will have recruiter spam. See if you can translate any of those into a better paid job than what you currently hold.
No. I assume you have never put a resume on linkedin with experience in a field that isn't in demand. In my previous career, while I was employed, i had zero messages from recruiters.
I've had multiple job offers all over the country and I only have a couple years of experience in web dev and a cs degree. Very generic credentials.
Exactly right, I created a linkedin profile with only one job experience with "devops programmer" in job title. I get tons of "recruiters calling me left and right" .
I've followed thru with recruiters and had multiple job offers and I have very generic credentials.
