Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

For those who are getting hired during this employees market -- are you worried that our "higher" salaries won't be sustainable once more people get back into the industry?

3 times I have gone through the interview process with big agencies and have gotten positive feedback all the way through to final interviews. Discussed salary and start date etc. only to be told right before offer time that internal team shifts or client scopes shifts mean the position is now on hold. But the team “loved” meeting me and as soon as a suitable position opens they’d love to interview again. Is this something you guys have experienced or am I doing something wrong on my end?

On the heels of the infamous “transactional employee” post: has anyone encountered other recruiters singing the same tune and offering lowball salaries? It is in recruiters’ interests to keep the agency, (not the employee) happy because the agency is far more likely to be a repeat customer.
