I’m curious, is it alright to connect with both third party recruiters and agency recruiters simultaneously? I mean don’t put all your eggs in one basket right?

Yes. 100%. If you see a job posting though try to contact someone in your network who has an in instead. It’s always better.

I’m my experience, the external recruiter can’t touch you if you applied to an internal one. Choose your path in wisely.

I generally agree with this logic because you need to do what you can to get the job.

But… Just remember that third party recruiters only get paid by “representing” you. If you decide to go directly to the agency recruiter, then they might not get paid. That would be fine if you end up getting the job. But if you don’t get that job, then that third party recruiter might become reluctant to rep you the next time.

As long as you don’t try to screw the third party recruiter out of their commission, it’s fine. You just need to be upfront with everyone about who else you’re talking to, and not go direct to an agency recruiter at the same time a third party is putting you forward there.

All folks who recently started with PwC. Had the HR reach out to you with regards to laptop and other onboarding info? I had reached out to them to ask if they had completed by background check since I couldnt see the process. They had said "it was completed and I should get an email confirmation". Nothing from them. Just wanted to confirm when I should expect to see the email, if any, about getting a laptop.

How is everyone dealing with the overpriced car prices? Been in the market for a while searching for a car between leasing a car from a dealership and buying used from FB. I’m fine with either option, especially since it’s going to be my first car, but not for $6k above MSRP. Worst part is, dealers are sitting around and have got nasty at my sister and I when they’ve been trying to milk us.

Is this even legal? Any alternatives options are appreciated
