For recruiters who send vague messages about a role at a “top consulting company” - do you ask what company / estimated salary over message before setting up time? If so, do they usually tell you or get out of the question?

Always ask for more details, including name, role / job description, comp, location, etc before sending your resume and having a call. Usually they’ll give you some more info, but not always. If the latter, you need to determine if it is worth your time to have an intro call.

Personally, I’m always willing to take a call because (a) could be a legit opportunity, and (b) the recruiter might have good options down the line if this one isn’t great. Just outline what you’re looking for very clearly and set expectations.

So I recently left a really fun job where I was ridiculously underpaid for a very very boring job that gave me a pretty big pay rise. I thought I could push through how boring it is but nah, not really. Happy I made this choice because it’s a big client but not sure I can do it for long. How long would you give it before quitting? I’m really trying to make the switch to experiential/PR so any help/lead on agencies is appreciated 😶
