Anyone have advice on assessing which recruiters are worth engaging? I’ve decided to look into what type of options exist locally for my experience (industry, level, comp.) but not sure where to start

Update your LinkedIn. Change to "active looking". Recruiter will start hitting you up. The good ones will actually take time to find out about you, give tips on your resume, and prep for interviews. Bad ones will simply collect resumes and push any job they have regardless what you say.

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store.

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?

Any advice on how to overcome this?
