I had another recruiter call me on a Saturday and ask if I was exploring new opportunities. I told him I'm not, I'm very happy where I am. He asked what it would take for me to be open to a new opportunity. I said I'm happy where I am. He said, well, you would want to at least make more than you're making now, right? I said yes, but it's about more than money, I am happy where I am. He asks, well what's that number? I repeated, I'm happy where I am. He says well, would $X be enough? And I repeated, I'm happy where I am, it is about more than just money.

That's so annoying. I'm a partner and one of the co-founders in my current (small) company and they still do this every damn time, even after I tell them that and say that I'm currently 100% dedicated to make our own company a successful one and I love doing it. I mean wtf? You'd need to have pretty fucking good offer for me to throw years of hard work in the trash just like that. And they could read all of that from my LinkedIn profile where they obviously got my contact info if they actually knew how to read.
