Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

Invite them to a zoom happy hour. Just kidding. In all seriousness, they probably got a small commission for finding you, so a thank you email is fine. If you want to leave something small on their desk once you're back in the office a few months in (if they're internal) that would be a nice gesture, but not necessary. If they're external, your future business is plenty thanks.

I did an initial thank you message, and a 6 months update email to say thank you again. It's great to keep in touch for when you need to look in the future and recruiters always know each other!

Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!
