Ask HN: Do you get work offers via your StackOverflow profile/activity?
We all know the power of SO and its relevance to hackers. For those of you who are very active and possibly leaders in certain areas, do you get contacted often for work based on your SO profile/activity ? I mean it should make sense that SO should generate a lot of leads even if you are not really looking.

No, though I have had contract/job offers via github, and even once via Hacker News.
(Both of which ironically I couldn't accept because they wanted onsite workers in London and New-York respectively; me? I've worked remotely for 8 years now, and have no intention of leaving Edinburgh._

Yes, but nothing that has ever been worth pursuing because they don't pay enough or have stupidly small vacation policies or require me to show up in person.
Yes.
I get a lot of freelance/contract offers too. Depends on the question I answer, if it's a good and quality answer, I will get more inquiries.
