Downsides

[tsaiko]

The worst thing about being in a relatively specialized field, is that when there's a job released to recruiters, every Tom, Dick, and Harry reaches out to me to see if I'm interested. I have been emailed, messaged on LinkedIn, called, and even texted by no less than seven recruiters for the same job. A contract job, I might add, with no benefits and requiring about 6 years less experience than I currently have.

No, I'm not interested and no, I will not pass on your contact information if you won't give me a salary range.
