For a published midlevel opening, is it better to apply directly or use a recruiter?

Thanks

If you are applying for multiple jobs, a recruiter can help you resist being potentially pressured to accept the first offer which comes down the line. They can also help you negotiate start dates, etc. in addition, it's often uncomfortable for a candidate to ask about things like status of application. I can be a nudgey pest so you don't have to.

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.

When you look to choosing a position to apply for and lets assume you get to be choosy - will you go for a org with big HR team or smaller HR team? Currently an hrbp for a medium global org with 10 hrbps in the Americas org supporting different groups/ regions like i support canada and a business group - looking at a role where hrbp report to sr hrbp and she reports to Vp of HR. The TA Manager reports to the VP of Hr as well. Sounds like a smaller HR team - are there any benefits to this move?

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal.

The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
