Has anyone had luck using recruitment agencies / exec search? They claim to help with salary negotiations and access a “hidden market” or jobs but I’m skeptical

I wouldn't pay for such a service, though I would certainly want the added visibility, and I would think that they would want another viable candidate to plug into their positions.

Makes sense, definitely wouldn’t pay for it

I would only ever use one if it came personally recommended by somebody I know who had a good experience with them. So many market themselves in ways that seem too good to be true. I would need personal references.

Makes sense - agree!

This has been of very great help to me, If you’ve been applying to jobs and heard nothing, you’re not unlucky, you’ve been lied to. From jobs that were already filled, to bots deleting your resume, fake recruiter interest, internal hires, and job boards selling your data, this system is broken. Use smarter job search strategies that bypass the lies and get real results.

Hello Guys,

I have cleared the TCS Technical+ Managerial round.
Now HR is looking for salary discussion. But I don't wanna TCS now as I just have 4 YOE.
I wanna simply decline the offer discussion or reject the offer.
I wanna join TCS later in my career at a Good position when I'll have 6-7 YOE.
Rejecting offer discussion or offer letter will impact? Will TCS block me for a lifetime.
Please throw sm light here.

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!
