It's alright, if they stay in one town long enough, or visit the same conferences and events long enough, everyone eventually learns who they are and figures out what they're after. The "good" ones are smart enough not to do that, they move around. The less good ones end up talking to the same "loves to hear the sound of their own voice" group eventually and sort of gets stuck in neutral. I guess if you've made it far enough in your desired career path by that point, it's fine. When that less good kind has to go somewhere else for some reason, the results are extremely awkward.
