LinkedIn algorithm somehow rates me high on their rankings for python devs in London. This has the impact of recruiters often correctly guessing my email address based on my employer domain and bombarding me with emails. I used to get at least two or three calls on my work desk, where the recruiters call the switchboard and ask for me by name. Needless to say, I have removed the name of my employer from my LinkedIn profile, nothing good comes from attaching too much information to a public profile.


> guessing my email address based on my employer domain

Recruiters contacting you through your work facilities!? That's new to me. Poaching straight to their face.
