Yes. Always. Unless it’s an inferior agency/title than where you’re at currently.

What’s the best way to let them down if you end up getting an offer?

Hopefully you know before it gets to that point whether or not you’re interested. If you are, and the compensation isn’t enough to move, I tell them what it would take.

Only if it's an equal or better agency.

It's good to meet CDs and recruiters, it's good practice, it's good to know where you sit in the industry in terms of salary, perks, interest, etc.

And because they reached out to you, not you to them, you don't have to feel bad when you turn them down.

Yes. I might be persuaded haha

Yes

Alwayssss. Doesn’t hurt to know what’s out there!

Yup

Sometimes. It also helps me to know what the market rate for my position. I highly recommend it.
