Yeah but you're a Geek-Groupy

Word on the street is that SAS's current boss is trying to punt him on to the competition.

He's worked out that by doing that, he can raise the average IQ of both establishments

I got quite an odd message through LinkedIn today.

Good Morning lovely,

Would you consider a permanent role? I am working with <snip> they have asked that I headhunt for them, would you be interested, I personally think they'd love you. They are based in Central London. What salary would you consider?

Be great to hear from you,

Does this mean I've been headhunted?

I was headhunted in October last year. Paperwork sorted, start on Monday morning, bright and early, 20 minutes from home.

Boomed.

It's a permy job

Thought that had fallen through. Good call though.

I made the same decision when the 1st one came along. It takes a lot of the hassle out of it & means you can be there for those earlier years.

As they get older though and you're regularly woken up from a deep slumber in the middle of the night by the site of miniature screaming banshee running at you from the dark then you may consider a contract with a few overnight away stays.

IMO no - if they wanted you they would be interested in contract or permie. Or am I wrong?

I was joking. I'm pretty sure she referred to me as "lovely" so she could spam the same email to as many people as possible. But she said headhunt so I can feel speshul like Sas.

I am doing the headhunting these days

Just Dim, Sas & AtW to go now and I'll be king of General. Muhahahaha.

Its only headhunting when they're willing to spend hundreds/thousands wining and dining you.
Otherwise you're just a scarce techie loser.
HTH

The guy who sorted out this job really earned his money. Handled negotiation of Holidays, salary, bonus, the lot.

In fact money wasn't even mentioned until Thursday last week. Deffo showed up most recruitment companies I've worked with in the past as the chancers they really are.

Dodgy, that doesn't mean you mate, you're the king of the brown envelope
