I’ve had several recruiters reach out to me asking availability for phone interview and then go silent after I provide availability. Has anyone experience this? Is this a thing now?

It seems like companies are reaching out to start process of finding their next best thing before they r ready to hire. I had interviews where they seemed desperately in need of the service. Loved me & my skillset… but at the end when I asked for timeline they think they’ll make the final decision… respond was : well… hopefully we get the role approved by end of the year… or our process is few months long … or hopefully before holiday as we have to see if the budget gets approved or not. 😳

Yes! I thought it was just me. I had a recruiter do this then reach out a month or so later as if we never spoke and asked me the same questions. It feels like sales and no direct connection to the actual hiring managers.

At my firm the annual compensation call comes from one of the partners notifying you of your bonus and salary increase.

If I believe I am underpaid, when should I negotiate for a high salary? Should I thank the partner, and ask to schedule a follow up meeting in a few days? Should I mention right away that I am looking for a higher base? My ratings are always great.

My firm does not offer "bands", so it is difficult to know what colleagues are getting paid (I am using info from Glassdoor).
