Anybody else think PinPoint partners and water street suck? Sorry to sound arrogant, but I’ve said no to every role they’ve presented this week (25), and when they’re not hanging up the phone on me, they’re setting up interviews without approval (already 6 this morning). I just think this is such a bad look for both of us. If anybody wants to know who’s hiring, DM me. Rant over

Y'all are new so I'll clue you in on the secret - they are the pop up ads of the recruiting world. I recommend never engaging with them unless you are desperate, as they are notorious for sharing your resume with firms without your consent (sometimes even to your current employer!) and booking interviews without asking. They don't even screen for fit half the time. I'm up for VP this year and I still get first year analyst / associate roles from them. They literally just put your info into an automated system and then cross their fingers that a match happens so they can clip a fee

Yes, I’m a full time recruiter and they are the two worst by far. Try Megan Grabow from Selby Jennings if you need a good recruiter.

Second Selby Jennings as a quality recruiting firm.

I work with every top firm and Pinpoint repeatedly lie to candidates saying that a firm wants to meet him or her. They have been blacklisted by many of the firms with whom I work. It's so imperative to work with a reputable recruiter- one who can prove she or he has connections and a strong reputation in this industry.

Sometimes they chase you and ghost you at the same time, for the same position.

And yes Selby Jennings is generally more professional

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Is a “coffee chat” the same as a first round interview for on-cycle recruiting right now?

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
