I just got a message from my company's front desk lady that someone called and asked for me and left a number for me to return the call. I've had a feeling about it and as it turns out, yes, it really was a recruiter who had the confidence* to call my company to sell me another job.

😆 he wants you badly
ask for 3-4 times more than your current salary! 😊

Had this happen twice to me, too. They had the audacity to call our support to ask for me directly. Good thing the calls weren't redirected to me.:D

@heyheni I'm don't really want anything new right now, nor do I appreciate this way of contacting. But I do want to have a talk with manager about compensation soon, so I suppose it's helpful to know my market worth.

3x my current salary and I might even get interested to hear about whatever crap they're doing. And if it's more interesting crap than what my current job offers, why not. I guess I should prepare some questions (about the job/company) for tomorrow.

@nitwhiz Good thing we have a policy that no external steakholder is supposed to have the dial through number (or email address) of a developer.

Wait until you have a recruiter call to try to sell you out to a different team in your same company...!

@AlmondSauce In my company that would mean leaving dev. Pass.

(but damn, that really happened?)

Oh, a headhunter. It's illegal, right?
