Hi everyone,
I have been in the job market from last 4-5 weeks since I was laid off from
Microsoft as a recruiter. My experience is not great as I have applied for more than 75 jobs with the organisations I am interested in for the roles which are in mid level considering I have 5 years of experience. I am targeting for about CAD 90-110k annually and I am located in Toronto, Canada. Do you feel things will pace up this month and my expectations are reasonable?

Not sure if salaries in Canada, but in US, I would say 5 yrs is about $120k+
I think it’s also hard for recruiters right now because every company is going through budgeting for next year and making sure they met this year’s budget.
I just got laid off too. Sending good vibes your way!

All the best, I am sure time and persistency is the key. Thanks for commenting.

I think that's within range for tech recruiters. But agency would be a good start.

Hey there,

I am in TAC for a fairly large networking company. I am making 48k a year with decent benefits and unlimited PTO. I love working at this company and my boss is fantastic. However, I feel as though I am being underpaid given my credentials. I have my CCNA and almost have my CWNA. I am coming up on a year at the company and want to start either negotiating higher pay or looking elsewhere. What should I do and how should I go about it?

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
