An open letter to Robert Half:
Why do you refuse to mention the type of industry in your listings? All of your competitors' ads will state if it's real estate, construction, law, family office, etc. Your ads say "our client" without naming the industry. How do you expect to find a proper candidate if you won't list the industry? It's a dumb policy - prove me wrong.

they're just fishing for candidates. i will never go with robert half. the first and last time i dealt with them, they were super unprofessional. find a local agency if you want recruiters who will actually be helpful instead of pushing roles you don't want

That is pretty dumb. But there must be some reason for it. Perhaps they make assurances to employers not to provide public clues that might possibly indicate which company it could be? But you make a good point, too much discretion (if that's even what it is) kind of defeats the purpose.

I feel inadequate and unsure of how or if to acknowledge the US/Buffalo racist murders and terrorism of this weekend in the workplace. I don’t want to do disservice or unintentionally further traumatize anyone. I know my Black colleagues are traumatized. I am horrified. And yet we just have our meetings and I guess compartmentalize it away.

How does leveling work for non-tech (non-swe) roles in Google?

Most information online are tech-specific, e.g., entry levels start at L3. Is it different for non-tech? E.g., fresh grads join at L1, 0-2y experience join at l2, etc.

Hello Guys,

I am in a super good position at Jellyfish as a Director with a good room in terms of growth. Great responsibilities, work life balance and I strongly love my job. However, there is an opportunity to join Google Dublin as an Agency Development Manager (level 4) with strong salary, new challenges, different role and responsibilities etc. I HAVE A STRONG DOUBT about a trade off: is better to have a strong margin of growth and a good position or join Google with the above conditions?
