How do you guys deal with LinkedIn recruiters who send you job offers, but hold as much information as possible (telling only the position and the company, some times not even the latter) and still asks your expected income🤔

That’s not an offer, that’s a partial posting.
I tell them I need more information on what they have and an honest with them about expectations.

It has never worked out, these folks don’t have ins into a decent position. Either that, or they’re just soliciting for information to compile a salary benchmarking report, and if that’s the case they should just ask and I’ll willingly volunteer the info.

Nah, everything is valid!

I’m new to consulting and working in general, so it’s definitely good to have these feedbacks from others who are more experienced.

And since english is not my first language, I apreciate you correcting me. It’s a way for me to learn!

Fair enough. Thanks!

I throw them an unreasonable salary requirement. If they're still game to talk, then I move forward.

I've never had anyone move forward beyond an introductory phone call when I do this.

Why do you waste your time if you give an unreasonable salary requirement? I assume you engage “just in case” but this doesn’t sound, from what you say, to be productive.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
