How do recruiters work? I am an associate producer, and a recruiter from an agency across the country contacted me about a producer (mid level not associate) position they have open. They said my info was passed onto them, but I’m not sure about that. They contacted me on LinkedIn. I’m meeting with their talent person in January to discuss the position, but i’m curious if this is typical? Does this mean they’re actually interested in me for the position?

I would never not take a meeting with anyone. You never know what may come of it, or what you will learn. But a chat is not a job. And I have a hard time not thinking recruiters, especially in production, aren’t the worst.
Try to think of it as flexing your interview muscle. Think of some questions beforehand. Both about the recruiter and their agency, and the agency and role they’re working for. Make it a conversation. You’ll have some learning, maybe good, maybe bad, to take away from it if you approach it that way, whether you get the job or not.

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

Nobody under me has gotten less than a 7% raise in the past year. Considering promotions + counter offers as well, it goes as high as 25%. I don’t feel a 3% raise matches a “90% positive” review and plan to bring up the cognitive dissonance I’m feeling. Any other tips or advice to add?
