Don't conflate things.

mobilization is not the same as mandatory draft. draft it still applies to all including IT workers just like before the war. But you are "not home" to get the povestka you are fine. Also almost everyone seems to have some sort of exemption via employment or whatever. No one snatches people on the streets or when exiting the country like in Ukraine

I don't think I heard of anyone drafted to war but I know many russians knowingly went to war to make money on contract basis (which is also not the same as mandatory draft).

Now if mobilization happens they would be more aggressive but as I say IT workers are officially exempt from it.
