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 is a wonderful position of privilege to be in and I’m thankful for it.
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.
I would love to continue the conversation, but before I do, I’d like to level set around the level of seniority that you’re looking for.
Can you send along the company name, a job description and, total compensation details for the role you’re reaching out in reference to?
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.
