Hey Tam - thanks for your question. So my target market don't generally want to hear the topics I'm posting. They have to trust that I'm as liberal as they are before they start taking me seriously. So it became clear that th

I'm not a recruiter and I completely agree. Never accept a counter offer. Having said this - I work in sales, and a lot depends on trust between you and the company when you work in that profession. It may be different for developers e
