I have started to put feelers out for a change of scenery, but nothing is landing yet. It feels like the first dotcom bust all over again.
Curious to know what others are doing... esp. if anyone actually replied to see what these folks' "angle" is.
I should block those old addresses, and that was the implicit threat on my CV coversheet, but I haven't bothered to do it yet.
It seems most of the recruiters bought my Email from dice.com, since that corresponds to when I used the earliest email addy. I'd say I'm boycotting Dice in response (and I sorta am), but I don't think dice has been relevant in an age, so it's sort of a toothless oath. :D
The SMS are pernicious and awful. I usually drop a rude remark to them before reporting them as spam. Phone interruptions are 100x more focus-destroying than emails, and I have been forced to put my phone on do-not-disturb during the workday, and I hate it. I feel victimized by these shops.
