Exactly. An excellent recruiter will build up a pool of candidates and clients who want to work with them, and will start their own agency where the compensation is usually a multiple of what they'd get in-house.
In-house recruiters tend to be one of:
* HR professionals who do some recruitment as part of their job
* A surprising number of people who end up taking on some recruitment responsibilities as part of their secretarial or admin work, and then end up doing it full-time
* Agency recruiters who didn't enjoy or could cut it being agency recruiters
I know a small number of excellent internal recruiters, but they're really the exception not the rule.
> How do you know if you have a good [recruiter]? If they've been a third party recruiter for more than 3 years, they're probably bad. The good ones typically become recruiters are large companies.
> For all you know, your government is running that VPN you’re using
The NSA is simply not most people's threat model, and if they _are_ running it, it probably means that someone shadier is not. I'm using a VPN because I don't want my ISP to see what I'm browsing, don't want end sites to know who I am, want to watch American Netflix, and because the country I'm in tries to block all adult sites. The NSA is welcome to all of this traffic _shrug_
> I don't have the level of contempt for my fellow Americans that you have
I was going to ignore this as an obvious troll, but I'll take a stab at it. Rural Americans aren't the problem, America is the problem, but some of that is made up for by the cities.
Rural America has the same terrible public transit, the same grotesque healthcare problems, generally appalling internet and cellphone, the same incredible incarceration rate, the same terrible problem with opioids, the same terrifyingly divisive politics, the same endemic racial divide, the same problem with gun violence as the rest of the US, except that some of the cities have made some headway with these problems.
If y'all lost New York, LA and the Bay Area, GDP would fall by ~25%, and you'd be just another upper-middle-income country. America's greatness comes from the cities.
Move to South East Asia instead. Burgeoning tech scene, some incredible nature, dating is considerably easier, both with locals and other expats, health care is first-rate and a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper ... "a rural state" sounds like all the worst bits of living in the US.
This is untrue. I hate to quote from Wikipedia, but it sums it up quite nicely: "REST is not a standard in itself, but RESTful implementations make use of standards, such as HTTP, URI, JSON, and XML"
More colloquially: REST is what happens when people mix up transport layers in their head.
