Comment on More than 80% of recruiters admit to posting ‘ghost jobs’ to juice their talent pool and business reputation

I have job hopped 3 times in the last 2 years, increasing my salary by over 25% each time. My secret? Recruiters. I don’t know if I’m just in a high demand field, but I just keep my LinkedIn profile set to “looking for work” and every couple of weeks I’ll get a new recruiter reaching out. I always respond and see what they’re offering. Sure, 9/10 times it’s not better, but at least I can use them to sharpen my resume/interviews skills. But then there’s always that 1/10 where it’s like “wait, you’re offering HOW much?!”

I never plan on leaving, but damn, am I just supposed to ignore an offer with a huge pay increase?
