Has anyone tried to set communication preferences with recruiters?
I can't take a phone call between 9-5 as I am in the office, working! I wish they would just email me.
Whenever I mention to please email they will still always call.

I can see it from both sides. Most recruiters are only working when we are. Right now, I’m just calling back when I get the chance to. On the flip side, I got a recruiter email about midnight Sunday night. Some balance would be nice to see.

That’s insane!
I guess some people just can’t switch off from work. Could never be me 🤣

Oh, you can definitely set communication preferences with recruiters—they actually prefer that. You can let them know it’s easier for you to respond via email than to take phone calls, and they’re usually very understanding

Oh ahaha I never knew you could do!
I definitely will try it

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
