How common - or not - is it to make above 200k in recruiting? Is this just a golden carrot or pipe dream for most of us? I don't want to sell my soul, but I like what I do and would like to aim high. What is realistic?

My base is over this, TC pushing 350 as an IC. Pre 2022 I was 400k. I know a few other ICs over 500k TC with base in the 230-250 range.

I’m a people manager and make a little under or over 200 depending on equity. 150 of that is base

Agency in Tech would be a consideration, if you are a high performer

Higher up HR individuals will absolutely hit this number. Depending on the company and title of course but it is completely possible!

Total comp for recruiting managers is usually 200k plus in tech companies. Base will hover between 120-200k depending on the role/company. Most recruiting managers fall between 135-165 depending on experience for base, and usually get a good sign on and equity.

With experience you could get that number in technical recruiting.

Definitely can get there. Im finishing year 1 around 90k which is mostly comission (45k base). My coworker is doing year three and is expected to make 225-250k this year (mostly comission). We work at large agency as tech recruiters so if you are a high performer than 200k in a relatively quick period of time is certainly possible.

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!

Or any advice for a short term solution?

Is anyone working somewhere with a hiring freeze right now? I started this job about 6 months ago and I'm worried I'll be the first one out now that they're officially pausing. Should I be looking for another job, and how much will this affect my resume if I get laid off?
