Do agencies check with your current job about level when getting hired for a new gig? How do so many ppl get away with title inflation?

Simple. Agencies nowadays look to hire lower experienced people and give them inflated titles to compensate for lost profit.

For example, a legitimate ACD should make between $165 - $180K

Agencies will take someone like a mid to senior Writer earning a max of $120K, enamor them with an ACD title and a small, measly increase, say $135K (which the candidate will love), then bill the client a legitimate ACD salary to the tune of 180K.

Now the agency is pocketing $45K in profit from this one employee alone. Yet the client no longer trusts the agency b/c this new “ACD” clearly doesn’t have the skills or experience to be one.

It’s what happens when clients drive down budgets, yet the holding company mafia still demand “their taste.”

Be careful. If a potential employer calls, the only things a person’s former or current agency can legally confirm is your title and start & end dates.

No.

That is, unless you really inflate your title. Like your CV/LinkedIn says you were a junior level two years ago and now you're applying for a CD level role.

Ball is in your court, legally your current or former employer can't say what your salary was. So set the bar high and ask for way higher!!!

Okay, it’s time to stop putting on a face about this. I love my boyfriend so much, but covid is ruining us. We are both still WFH and argue every few days about the dumbest stuff. My and his mental health are both diminishing and it feels like an impossible trench to dig out of. My stomach hurts every time we fight and I (independent of him) feel so stuck in this horrible global crisis. I don’t want to lose him, but I need to figure out how to dig us both out of this unsustainable mental state.

I want to leave my captive company. I don’t think I am ready to be totally on my own even with a cluster group etc. There is an option to be subcontractor in another independent company. I can write she said like 300 companies in many states, it would be helpful because I have many friends out of state. Is taking 25% of sales for giving CRM and companies too much? Seems like a lot. It is like “owning your book” but I assume I would pay a high price if I want to totally manage myself in a futu

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

A branding question. If FIFA stopped calling it the Women’s World Cup, would more of the world start treating it with as much reverence as the men’s World Cup, which is just called The FIFA World Cup?
