No. You may be able to negotiate more if you applied directly since they save on recruiting costs, but how else will you get your resume thru?

If you can get the job yourself, don’t use a recruiter. Small companies generally don’t have recruiters or HR or hire as needed so it doesn’t make sense to do it in house. If you can’t get the job yourself, then use the recruiter. Idk what there is to discuss…

Yes

Yes

How much lower will the offer be? Haha because I realized if I applied by myself they have more bandwidth.

Well, shit lol. Thanks for the clarification!

Recruiter won’t necessarily negotiate higher salary for you because they need to compete with candidates represented by other agency recruiters. They’d rather lowball you and get you hired than try to negotiate higher salary and get passed over.

Not as far as I can tell at big companies.

How hard is it to get an interview for SWE at FAANG outside of on campus recruiting?

I’m worried about missing out on the recruiting opportunity and having to resort to applying online/LinkedIn afterwards. Any insights into this?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
