replyI'm contacted by recruiters not constantly, but steadily. But they all want me to accept a pay cut of about 50% for a contract role of 3-6 months half way across the country.

But I strongly suspect you are incredibly atypical based on your background and previous work experience in ways that would tremendously down weight the probability that any part of your experience with recruiters would apply to even above average engineers.
