I have rarely worked with recruiters, but this past one I've had is SOOOOO persistent...like communicates with me every 3 hours if I'm not heard from. Is that normal? or a sign of something?

It means they really need to close the deal with the client and you are their only hope lol.

Recruiters (especially the agency or independent ones) are sales people at the end of the day.

Recruiters will be just as persistent when they are interested in you as they will ghost you when they aren't.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?

2) We aren’t going to allow trolling, doxxing, or shite behavior. This is going to be a helpful place for positive, constructive conversation.
3) We’ll be doing an AMA in the coming weeks.
4) Next AAR Live Session is September 16th, and we’re talking Portfolios!
