I'm in East Asia as an American, late 20s and I have only been in the recruiting industry for 2.5 months. I recently have been trying to scout for a bilingual Marketing position and I came across a potential candidate, really good resume and trilingual, definitely worth a call to make a pitch. However, as Im trying to get her availability, she turns the topic and she asks me where Im originally from, I say America and I say why she asks Cause my profile picture I look cute.

I discuss this situation with my Managing director about it and says "She's flirting with you dude, just go with it and get a call scheduled, shit I'd call her for you" So I go ahead with it and continue. She actually asks for my Socials and I negotiate my Socials for her to schedule a call with my boss. She takes the bait but now Im stuck with her getting my contacts outside LinkedIn.

Is this genuine? I mean who tf is going to deadass hit on a recruiter lol. I mean some guys would like to be in my situation but I'm already in a committed relationship so im not interested. I wonder if she's trying to get something or what?

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I can’t help it. Anytime I see someone with a 6 figure job, or a doctor, or I watch someone earn a million dollars on a show, the back of my mind always goes to: streamers make more money.

Sometimes even mercenaries or A-tier celebs. My brain just keeps thinking, why do any of that when you can potentially make more being a YouTuber or streamer?

I used to watch a YouTuber who was studying to become a doctor, and after years of studying he realized streaming made more money with way less stress, so he just dropped out.

I understand getting that kind of viewership isn’t easy, and maybe I’m only looking at the top creators instead of the average streamer/YouTuber.

But can someone please change my view on this? It’s giving me really bad FOMO.

Literally everyday I get this. You think "oh, the bandwidth must be bad cause everyone's home. Which I believe is BS cause why doesn't this effect earlier times during peak Holiday seasons, like golden week? It effects me mostly cause I usually game at this time. Why does it Have to instantly go bad at exactly 8:30?

Does anyone else get this bs problem?
