How long does an "average" recruitment effort take, start to finish? Maybe i'm just incompetent or picky , but i've been searching for a new job for over 1 year now (had few offers that didn't work out).

I’ve always been told you should expect 6 months. Obviously there are orgs that can do it faster and some do it slower but on average it takes 6 months from the time you start applying until you have a job. Obviously it’s individual dependent too. I started applying in December. I turned down a job in February. I received multiple offers in the past several weeks and accepted an offer recently. The timeline seems to hold pretty well. This was true of my past experiences as well.

Got a message from a Bain recruiter looking for experienced hires to start q1. I'm very interested but cautious because they're looking for a speedy process...feels a little rushed. Anything to be concerned about that I don't know? Like could this just be an attempt to get huge app volume or can I assume there's actually a chance if they reached out? I'm at a boutique in a niche industry, so just unsure of what would have drawn him to my profile.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?

Scenario: You’re interviewing with a Series A startup, funding was ~20 mil. Founders are Ivy leaguers, ~100 full time employees, you’re not in loveee with the role, product is something you do see some potential in being disruptive in the industry. Catch is, they switched the role on you that initially you applied for, new role is lower comp, lower equity (4 year vesting with 1 year cliff), likely less stress though. Base is a ~20% cut from your current base. Do you take the role? Discuss!
