Interviewed with a 3rd party recruiter. I was told my rate is too high but perfect for the job. I now know who they’re hiring for.. should I just go for it? or is this a big no no?

I would go for it. If they haven’t landed you an interview then you don’t owe them anything.

If it gets you the job, it may be worth it. But just know that recruiter will never work with you again, OP.

Doesn’t sound like the recruiter can get them their day rate so.... 🤷🏾‍♀️

The agency should know better and won’t burn the recruiter like that, and if they would, that’s not really the kind of place you want to be working anyways. If you do go for it, good luck getting your paycheck.

But it seems like the recruiter never connected OP to the agency (Correct me if I’m wrong OP). The agency probably doesn’t even know who OP is.

If this is the case, what’s wrong with OP directly contacting the agency?

Hmm this one could be sticky... Normally, it’s frowned upon to apply directly with that company. But, if all you had was a casual conversation with the recruiter (no signed paperwork), you’re probably fine, IMO.

Has anyone ever been leveled down after reaching offer committee? I was told that I interviewed strongly and was being placed at L6 but once I was presented before the committee their feedback was that since 1 of the interviewers didn’t ask specific questions of me that they’d expect for L6 - I could either proceed as L5 or conduct 2 additional interviews to still be evaluated at L6. Can someone share their experience with anything similar? I am being considered for both PgM and TPM roles.
