Senior roles in the Valley have headhunters but you need to be in SF. And if you’re already out there, then you would know as everyone is connected.

In NY, not many big roles for headhunters to actively work on, plus the startups won’t pay those fees. So best to go to events that the company you want to work for attends and just start networking. WeWork has a bunch of parties and a lot of these startups started there and still attend. Make sure you’re in the scene first, there’s a ton of social opportunities.

Most of the time you apply to the company directly, they don’t work with headhunters.

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

Hey all, 3rd party recruiter reached out to me about a job. We had interview which I think went well. I did not give my salary expectations, but the recruiter provided the hiring budget.

After sending resume, I am now being asked my current income. Seems expectation is ~20-25% comp increase when you change companies. Effectively it would be a promotion, but the budget would be significantly more than 25%.

Do I inflate my current comp? My wife said she had to find a paystub for her job.

Advice needed! I interviewed with my favorite company 3 months ago for a role I was interested in but had no experience. They were looking for someone with experience so they passed on me.
