People have learned to keep it chill at the office holiday parties. And let your hair down at the after parties when it’s just the kids an no bosses around.

Not this year. Have in the past but with margins lower every year and targets creeping higher every year, justifying the expense for a single blowout party becomes harder and harder.

Depends on the agency.
Some do, some definitely don’t.

The large holding companies usually do.

The big ones do...especially if they invite key clients. There's also a trend with some spending the money on a summer party or january parties to reduce venue rental prices.

I have 5 YOE in full desk Recruitment. I’m currently based out of Toronto,Canada. I’m getting $57/yr and some bonus. It’s an RPO. There’s unlimited PTO and the role is remote. Curious to see what my fellow Recruiters from Canada are making. Would love some insights from our US folks as well.

After 3 years of dealing with the worst firm I've ever had the displeasure of working for, I finally landed my dream gig at a small specialty firm. The people at the new firm are all SMEs featured in and contributors to the most notable business publications in the world, less than 100 employees, better benefits, unlimimted PTO, doubled my pay and landed a senior role.

Keep looking for what you want and deserve. I'm happy to be forging a better path away from what I've had to endure.

I need to make a decision by tomorrow:
Current base salary: $55k
Current bonus: 10.5% (~$5k)
Vacation: 2 weeks
*been with company for 4 years. Started as a product data analyst out of school.

New offer base salary: $90k
Bonus: 12% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

Counter offer: $80k
Bonus: 14% (~11k)
Vacation: 3 weeks

So, I knew ahead of time that I would be working Thanksgiving weekend, but I just got my schedule for December and it looks like I'm going to miss Christmas as well. I feel bad that I am missing so much time with my kids, how does everyone else deal with these emotions? Any tips on how I can make up the missed experiences with my children?

If you wanting a mix of salary increase and work / life benefit increase, what are some things you negotiate for that you now have in your job? Additional pto? Flex time? Other special arrangements? Has any one negotiated periods of time off ( around a month) based on certain objectives met? Was thinking perhaps negotiating unpaid leave for pursuing other interests / family time. Job is in medical IT, Midwest, 10 years. Thank you for looking and appreciate any comments.
