A recruiter slid into my inbox with a job that's identical to mine but with much better benefits. I'm tempted to reply to hear them out, but I really don't want to get sucked into a whole major process when I'm otherwise content. Do these introductory calls usually turn into high-pressure sales pitches, or is it safe to just chat and bow out gracefully if I'm not feeling it? I'm curious but not desperate.

The latter is my experience. I've heard them out multiple times throughout my career and just let them know that I'm not interested in pursuing the role if I was disinterested. Every once in awhile the role will appeal and it's worth putting some time in applying.

Hi there! I was just saying today I wish people really knew as recruiters we want to help you! That is our job. We get you better benefits and/or better pay and we get paid to do that. It’s worth hearing them out because you can be pleasantly surprised. I know having to set the time aside sucks, but in the end if you end up taking an offer you’re going to be glad lol best of luck : ) !!!!!!!

Communication is a two-way road. You are a grown-up, you can politely or impolitely stop the conversation whenever you feel it necesary. Just make sure this is not an ATS scam )))

They probably will over sell it slightly but it sounds like a good opportunity to earn more. Why wouldn’t you hear them out?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA.

Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
