New Co-Bowl Leader here. How ya doin? I wanted to let you all know a few things:
1) Recruiters & Talent Folk didn’t used to have access to AAR bowl, it was only recently that we could respond to your questions, comments, concerns.
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!

This bowl could be super helpful, but always gets too aggressive. Cheers to the reboot.

Hell yeah. I’m actually glad to see which users outed themselves off the jump as trolls. Makes cleaning up much easier. 👌🏼👋🏼

I’m here to participate & stay. But it is true that Recruiters, Talent, and HR used to not have access to write replies, only to view.

please...

no “meditation” or “release” during AMA. 🤣

@FAD what does that even mean?
AMA means “ask me anything”. Myself and my co-lead will be here to answer your questions about what we do, the behind the scenes, etc.

Although, I highly recommend meditation as a daily practice. Helps me a lot anyway!

We had a bowl for asking recruiters questions that recruiters had no access to? 🤣

No, the bowl has been around for over 2 years, started by a recruiter who left. We’ve always had trouble getting recruiters to participate and stay.

I’m happy to participate as well but Joanna is correct, I wasn’t allowed to reply on it until last week for some reason.

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?

First year here in a quiet patch (following a very busy period). There have been a few days where I bill 0 hours, which I’m told isn’t worth worrying about in this quiet time. But how do you spend your time on days when you bill nothing? This is a major stress for me. Cheers!

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

I'm days away from starting the freelance position that a recruiter found for me, then another opportunity just fell in my lap last minute with better pay and a better agency. Whats the best way to...

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
