A friend of a friend submitted my portfolio for a role I’m really excited about 2 weeks ago. Haven’t heard from the company. Should I reach out to the recruiter on LinkedIn or do recruiters hate that?

FWIW, it’s an in-house role, not agency

Reach out. Recruiters are soulless and most cases don’t have individuals on their radar. If you really want the spot show it and don’t give up

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
