I have had an adjustable desk (sit or stand) for the past eight years. The biggest benefit in my mind is the variation you get from switching between sitting and standing. Burning calories was never a goal. I am particularly happy to be a

You're right, they're trying to get me interested in other jobs, which would then lead to an interview etc. Maybe "recruiter proposals" or something would be better. As for how they should approach you, I recently got an

I have an (admittedly not very active) account on SO (1400 karma), but over the years I've only received one job offer via SO. LinkedIn on the other hand gets me maybe one offer per month on average. I also have a blog at http:/&

I agree that there are many problems with LinkedIn, but my (contrarian) view is that it is still useful for me: - contact information for professional contacts in one place, updated by them - job offers (yes, mostly good or at least decent)

Yes. Two of the most important aspects in my mind, apart from time and money, are the people you will be working with (are they good), and the product/the kinds of problems you'll solve. Both are high on my list of what I look for

As for point 6: I only connect with people I know. Every once in a while I get a connection request from some random person , but I always say no if I don't know them (even if we are in the same industry). I think the whole value of co
