“Start accepting”

Huh. Weird. I don’t really even hide that I’m always working towards my own goals. This includes keeping an eye out for opportunities that better align with them. And I’m a firm believer that having a discussion and seeing what options there are is healthy and good. There have been many times in my career I’ve spoken to recruiters and come away with a better appreciation for where I was.

Didn’t realize this was not a normal approach.

Are you seeing the same volume of requests from recruiters offering that base that you did a few years ago? I’ve seen our hiring team lowering the advertised salary range and an increase in the number of applications for the same roles.

I personally don't talk to recruiters unless I consider myself on the market. It's just a time sink and a distraction from what I'm trying to get done at work. Admittedly if I had a job where I was more fungible I might behave differently.
