I get recruiter messages almost daily for AI engineering roles I can't take (happy where I am). One came in this morning: fully remote, $150k base (with room), reports directly to the CEO, building AI agents and automations on top of HubSpot, Microsoft 365, and Slack. Claude shop. Basically getting paid to do what a lot of us here do for fun.
Here's the thing — recruiters can't fill these roles. They can't tell the difference between someone who's actually shipped agents and automations in production and someone who put "AI" on their resume. And I keep watching these opportunities bounce off my inbox and disappear.
Would you actually want opportunities like this?
(Not a recruiter, not selling anything. Seeing if the demand I'm sitting on matches the talent in here. If I'm stepping on toes or being salesy say it)
