Has anyone ever had luck with 3rd party recruiters? I’ve only ever had 1 interview using a recruiter and I never heard a word from them afterwards.

I got one job using a third party recruiter. The others I tried to work with ended up being a waste of time. In-house recruiters are 1000000x more likely to produce results.

Yeah exactly. I'm starting to get the feeling that some portion of their performance evaluation is tied to making so many outreach efforts per month. That's the only way I can make sense of why so many reach out to me on LinkedIn and then ghost after I respond.

I've known of people who had very good experiences with third-party recruiters, so it is possible. However, a lot of recruiters are just absolutely puzzling. They tend to do what you describe, seem to get things in motion, make you optimistic, and then disappear. I assume it's a numbers game for them, and they wind up working with only a small percentage of people after they make initial contact.

Yeah I doubt it even really matters who ends up getting the job, I imagine it’s more of how many people can they get to apply to it.

Yes I did for contracts!

Oh that’s great! Maybe I will in the future.

Having a recruiter behind your back helps with salary negotiations. They handle most of that stuff. I was offered the best salary, sign on bonus I have ever received

Oh wow that’s a good bonus, I’ve always assumed they just see “clients” as a number they want to jot down.

Does anyone have advice about interviewing somewhere with bad Yelp/google reviews? Is it OK to ask about it in an interview? Does any law office, for the most part, have “good” reviews, especially family law? The reviews I read on lots of law office pages are usually people who are accusing the firm of over-billing, not doing enough work or losing/obtaining an unfavorable outcome. How much attention should one pay to this when looking for a new firm at which to work?

I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret). I was devastated by it. This past month I have been making more payments and paid off my aug statement in full thinking it will boost my credit score. But I don’t know why it went down another 10 points. More below:

I have no idea what I’m doing. Life is a little overwhelming, and I want to keep growing as a professional but in a different direction than where I’m at right now. Switching careers and industries is so difficult. Props to those who’ve broken into their first job after a career change!

For expert witnesses/lawyers

I’m a former forensic scientist that left the field several years ago. I recently received a subpoena from a case I worked and suggested to DA to have evidence re-worked by the lab or stipulation. If I am required to testify (as an expert witness), I would need to book a flight, hotel, etc. My question is this: can I ask for my requested hourly rate, travel, and hotel to be covered when speaking with DA or is that “not how this works” as the investigator put it?

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Hey fishes, recently got an offer of 245k plus a bonus, but no specificity and at least 3% cost of living annual raise. My current job I make 150k plus a 20% bonus and an annual cost of living raise anywhere from 2-3.5%. Have been in my current position about a year. Things have been a bit bumpy (not a me issue) I have a new supervisor and was recently given 7 direct reports (I had zero before). The new position while comes with a significant raise is a move to California. Any thoughts?
