You messaged me, but something with your message was off.
In order to make sure that your next message is worth reading, please start it with a comparison of a phoenix and a hot potato in exactly 25 words.
Likely you made (at least) one of the following mistakes:
You wanted me to research details on a link or in an attached file at a point, where I have no idea, if your offer even interest me.
You did not include the following details about the offer:
What would be the task? Yes I do trust you having an idea based on my profile what job I might fit in your list, but the actual project does make a difference, and by the project I do not mean a long list of technologies used by it, but the actual task. Please make this part of your message in at least 20 and at most 100 words.
Where should it be done?
In a specific office?
In an office but can be chosen from a long list worldwide, or in a given country?
Fully remote?
Remote but with restrictions to given geographical jurisdictions?
What is the amount of business travel involved?
Mention both minimum and maximum durations, potential and frequent locations, and the types of the reasons, why these are done.
E.g.:
"may visit our HQ at XYZ nearby city from the fixed location office in XYX"
"have to keep in touch with customers and visit them at their offices every single day, but never leave the city"
"200+ offices worldwide with free food in all of them, you can work up to 3 month from any of them without further notification, we will ask you to some times visit one of them, were you closely work with your peers, and we do go to summits all around the year, we are happy if you can join us for a few of those, and see real users"
How much time do you expect the task to take?
Is it a full time permanent job?
Or just a few hours a year?
Did someone already attempted to do the same task, or is the area completely new to the employer, and I will need to figure out everything without support?
Will I get paid more if I do the job faster, or you think that you can guess the value of my time, and pretending to be slower would make it worth more?
What is the compensation?
I know it is hard to tell, I do not care that you give me a super sharp and precise value, a range is perfectly fine, but if the top of your range is 20% of what I currently earn, I think you understand that our conversation is over.
Please make sure you indicate the period of time over which the mentioned amount of money is paid (e.g. /hour /day /month / year)
Do not forget to include the primary currency of the compensations that will be written in the contract.
Make sure to include all conditions of the total compensation, so if e.g. 30% of it is in equity, mention this, mention potential difference in taxation requirements, vesting and cliff times.
If changing my permanent location while doing the job influences my compensation, this is the best time to mention it, later it will be too late.
How complete this list is?
If there are expectations outside the agreed technical task on what I do, e.g. bureaucratic overhead, political discussions within the company before being able doing the right thing, dresscode for something not strictly related to the task ( a suite or long pants where they do not serve a protection function against a reasonable threat are typically these category, otoh protective gear for construction sites if I need to debug something embedded on site would be OK) I will also have expectations outside the agreed compensation. This list was non exhaustive, but making me doing any of the above items likely costs more than my technical knowledge for eliminating decades of technical debt from a planet scale system.
You included some details about me in your message, in order to try to make it more personal, but it went wrong. E.g. your template had a wrong name in it, and you started like "Hi Wrong Name!" If this happened, or you have the slightest suspicion that it could happen, make sure that the hot potato from the second sentence has a special ability (superhero-skill) the ability should be something positive, what you would like to have as well, and you can imagine me being happy about having it too. This does NOT change your word count limit for the comparison.
I hope you understand, that I am not willing to spend time on something where the above basics are unclear.
If you happen to research some of my contacts other than the initial channel you reached out to me, you decrease and not increase your chances. Please do not try to go around, I am the same person in the end, and I am interested in the same data (see above).
