A few weeks ago I had an initial screening call with a company local to me for a specialized position I know I'm a great fit for. After a week I emailed the recruiter politely asking for an update, she said she was still trying to line something up with the hiring manager. It's now been another week and a half since then. Would it be a good idea to go there in person and try to talk to the hiring manager or should I just keep waiting?

I personally think showing up is pushy. She told you she's working on it, there's stuff that's probably out of her control and you showing up could be perceived as being demanding.

Yea I agree

Well I emailed the recruiter last Monday, she got back to me pretty quickly but said the position is "on hold" for the time being and she will reach out to me if that changes... I'm not holding my breath that will happen anytime soon (if ever) so I'll get back to applying to other positions in the meantime. This job market is a real drag, been applying for over a year now trying to get out of this stressful contract position at my current employer.

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

TIA!
