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
|
2022-02-02 15:00:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
volume of recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn.
|
2022-02-02 14:57:42 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.

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.
