* First contact

Thanks so much for reaching out.
I’m always interested in hearing about what new and exciting opportunities
are out there.
As a senior software engineer I’m sure you can imagine that I get a very high
volume of recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn.

It does however mean that I don’t have the time to hop on a call with
everyone who reaches out.
A lot of the time, incoming messages represent a very poor fit indeed.

I currently make 95k€ salary, 15% annual bonus, and 35k€ equity, which
makes a total compensation to about 145k€ per year.
This position will need to exceed all 3 by at least 20% before I even
consider it.
Does that sound doable?
If not, let's not waste any more of each other's time.
Otherwise, I would love to continue the conversation, but before I do can
you send along the company name, a job description and, total compensation
details for the role you’re reaching out?

While I very much appreciate the fact that exceptionally talented and
engaged recruiters reach out consistently, sorting serious and high quality
opportunities from spam would be a full time job without an autoresponder.

In the absence of detailed information regarding the nature of the
opportunity in question, I will be unavailable for further discussion.

Thanks again for reaching out!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yann

Thanks for taking the time to give me all these details.
Unfortunately, this does not looks like a good fit, and I don't think this
could be worked out.
