Are the conversations with recruiters supposed to be confidential? I am low key thinking to look for new job and I want to contact the recruiter who got me my current job. Should I be worried about my employer finding out I am looking? Or recruiters are supposed to keep quiet? I believe this is an external recruiter who works with different agencies..

in principle they are - they don’t want a reputation as a snitch.

In practice, they generally are but there is no recruiter/client privilege like you get with an attorney or doctor.

Why are you worried about them finding out? If they value you it might even nudge them to increase your pay or make other changes to keep you.

That’s a good point. I guess I just think that I will be looking for a while since the market rn sucks and I am worried to be put on secondary projects in the maintime

How long have you been there? Some might have a clawback if you don’t stay at least a year.

Then I think you’re good.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Cold applied for an awesome role, had an interview with hiring manager, recruiter, and given a pretty hefty assignment that I’m really proud of nailing. They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
