Do not work with Forrest Solutions. They are a bottom feeder employment agency on New York Ad Jobs. They pay $30-$50 an hour tops for writers or AD’s. Seriously, you can make more money babysitting! Most likely they charge $150 an hour and keep the $100 themselves.  Use your contacts. Go directly to clients or agencies and skip these clowns.

Well yeah, avoid employment agencies in general unless you are on the verge of getting evicted. I used one at age 25, learned my lesson, and never again.

Hi all.
Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?
