Not always, but how distracting is it really?<p>Obviously, everyone will be different but I get 2-3 emails from recruiters on LinkedIn <i>per week</i>. Managing them takes me about one minute per week.<p>Compared to the number of times where I ended up on a phone call or having lunch&#x2F;coffee with a CTO, VP of Eng, architect or senior engineer, it&#x27;s totally worth it to me.<p>My suggestion: don&#x27;t cut out that option until it really becomes unmanageable. Chances are you&#x27;ll find it&#x27;s worth the occasional disturbance.
