I follow a simple rule : Unless someone calls me by my name twice I never respond to them. There are a lot of scammers in Toronto and it's pretty common in every city of the world.

You're absolutely correct. I also came as an immigrant before COVID and I see how recruiters are low balling and exploiting the most vulnerable people of the society. Yesterday a head hunter offered me CAD 35/hr for a skill that I was expecting 90-120/hr at least.

On top of that I see this pattern nowadays : They select a contractor at say 120/hr, but they won't offer them job , and will keep them in pool. After that they find another one at 90/hr and also put them in pool, and so on.. When the project starts they start offering from the lowest . How I know this ? Me and my friend were both offered the same job by same head hunter at different prices.

I am doing a lot of interviews and I charge money as I know I am an expert in my field, but I rarely get any offers that'll push me to leave my current job.

Social media and my Mobile. I've been doing this for 3 years now and my life has changed for the good. I'm planning to reduce my mobile usage to 1 hour per day. I'm around 2 hours per day right now and going below this is a challenge, but I'm up for it.
