    Todays WTF recruiter email

    Dear Eek,

    Hope all is well.

    I have some great new lucrative opportunities with our award winning fintech and hedge fund clients using the latest low latency technologies.

    They have ex-Google and Facebook developers working there.
    Um its not my skillset anyway but what does working at Google / Facebook have to do with low latency development and why would I care anyway.
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Yes. Anything other than "Wow, that's a really good email. You deserve another hazelnut skinny latté for your efforts. Shall I fetch you one?" would have that effect.

            Perhaps they have a list of whose desperate to hang on to the coattails of others?

              They've clearly heard how ace you are and are desperately using buzzwords to try to coax you in.

                    If I am honest, the prospect of being interviewed by ex google/FB developers or even working with them would make me run miles away. They are all so stuck up inside their own back side, they think interviewing a developer would mean subjecting him to Tyrion style tormenting in front of a white board.
