Personally, I'm tired of getting recruiters emailing and/or calling (yes, they do both) about an urgent need for a 25+ year experience position that maxes out at $40/hour 1099. So, those, I do not care if their job is harder or not.

Why the interest in making life hard for recruiters? Ok, I'm a contractor so my continued employment depends on their existence. Still, why? If I thought that you normally work under those conditions - $125/hr or outside the US half the time - then of course you're just stating up front one of your requirements. From the tone, though, it sounds like you're trying to make them unhappy for the fun of it. Is there something going on here that I'm not aware of? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* I have never been hurt by anything I didn't say. -Calvin Coolidge */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of rpinion865 Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 16:01 I ask them, as a US citizen with a legal residence in the State of Tennessee, may I work remotely, outside of the USA for at least six months a year? I usually never hear from them again. -------- Original Message -------- On Aug 14, 2023, 3:52 PM, Steve Beaver wrote: > Every time a recruiter calls me I have a sure way get rid of them and > increase what they need to pay.
