Are Gpac recruiters legit?

A GPAC recruiter reached out to me for a position seemingly based out of a smaller city about a 45 minute drive from me. When I hopped on the call with her, it turned out that the position was actually gonna be based out of a small town that was like 2+ hours away from me, and the client expectations seemed fairly out of whack for the role and geographic area. They don’t seem all that targeted to me.

I'm sure it's common in a quantity over quality business, but I once had the same GPAC recruiter contact me as a potential placement AND as a potential employer in a very short period of time. I had responded to the email from the person about an opportunity he was floating to me, but he never responded. However, that didn't stop him from sending me half a dozen emails asking me to hire him to help with any staffing needs I had. Maybe to many that's a small thing, but that sort of lack of attention to detail and professionalism really turned me off to them. Even worse, I had to send the same person 3 separate emails asking him to stop contacting me before he responded (and the emails still have not stopped, months later).

Yikes. Received a solicitation for a gig that seems almost too good to be true and every correspondence from them has been littered in spelling mistakes. Seems like red flags all around.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus.

I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.
