if they're reaching out to you directly for a sales position it's likely that it's to run you
What do you mean?

I'm kinda torn, tbh. On the one hand, it is a dog-eat-dog world and you gotta look after you - companies have no loyalty to employees anymore, so why should employees feel bad for screwing over a company? On the other hand, it would suck to go through a search, identify a candidate, make an offer, have the offer accepted, and then have the person take another job right before they were supposed to start - then you would have to start all over.
they're emailing blind because they can't retain anyone
There’s only one way to do job searches, fail upward like Palma.
I assume he means that it's going to be a high turnover type position, where they'll milk you for referral sources and then expect you'll either burn out quickly, flounder around where you don't get paid much, or be one of the few who really "makes it".
I say this as someone who continues to work part-time jobs to make ends meet
I get those emails all the time and ignore them
The weirdest ones are from people who pretend to be recruiters and they have a "perfect opportunity" for you
I’m really trying to fail upwards, but the best I can do so far is fail sideways. I think the problem is that I just go to work and yell at everybody for being liberals and it’s really hurting my ability to network.
Recruiters don't really reach out to me much. Kinda bums me out. I think my title, while fairly high in the company hierarchy, is too weirdly specific to be a match for a lot of roles that it would actually fit. I wonder if my company did that on purpose when they hired me in 2020.
Haha. If only there were wealthy people who hated liberals as much as you do.
What do you think about that?
