I had more luck doing things on my own than with working with a recruiter but everyone’s experience is different.
Nothing on signing bonus and they know the market isn’t the best but I do appreciate the positivity they give

Same.

Had one reach out. Said the signing bonus would be in the six figures (and no, not K&E).

I used a recruiter for both of the jobs I had in small law and the job I just started this week in a large firm. You’ve got to be careful though because they’ll try to disincentivize you as far ask asking for signing and relocation bonuses if they want to work for that firm again in the future

I took the exit opp with Amazon from KPMG. It may not be the exit I wanted but atleast it’s the exit I needed.
Tc : 130 -> 230 k , yoe: 12 (relevant exp: 7 ), level manager to L5. I felt suffocated at KPMG with 3 of the leaders who supported me leaving in the last 10 months.

Alvarez & Marsal Hello Alvarez & Marsal! Can any current employees speak to the hiring timelines / norms? I was referred internally, and I’ve had 4 interviews so far (mix of formal and informal) over the past ~2 months. During the most recent call, I was told that I would next hear from an HR rep who manages offers / negotiations / location assignments. Since then, it’s been nearly 3 weeks without any response. Is this normal? We were moving really quickly, but this delay has taken the wind out of my sails

Working at hybrid model of IT company and PSU company. My employer IT company lost bid and now the contract is of another company. We have been asked that contract over as on 31.7.2022 and we are supposed to go and sit at company office. It's a loss of pay for 100 people on project. Our company said we can't join new bidder company because we signed agreement on offer letter that we won't be joining client for atleast a year. It's inconvenient and crazy for us.
