I have a few friends, really smart ones, that would do anything to have recruiters "annoying" them. And all of this just because they made an unfortunate choice somewhere in their past: they didn't choose STEM.

Everytime I ear people here bashing recruiters I feel the urge to shout: It's not about you it's STEM. Enjoy your prized ticket but be humble.

Anyone not choosing STEM has done a major mistake. It wasn't by luck that I (and I assume I am representative) chose STEM.

For every decent recruiter I've ever dealt with I got a thousand low effort spams from India or Pakistan from guys all named John trying to get me to take some crappy call center or tech support position 2 moves back.

It might actually be 10000 to 1. I HAVE worked with tech recruiters (I can think of a specific local company) that were good, but it's incredibly rare outside maybe a major metro.

I'm so sick of this trope, I have so very many recruiters with "american-sounding" names sending endless irrelevant or poorly explained job posts.
