Q for CDs. In your career as you moved up - have you had more success getting placed with a third party recruiter vs just contacting agencies directly? I guess the third option is getting a contact at an agency to pass you along. And is it normal to be in touch with seemingly 18 diff recruiters at once since they all have different connections? Trying to figure out where to put most of my already depleted energy. Thanks. 😵‍💫

Never had luck with recruiters. Got most of my jobs through messaging the hiring manager directly. Either CD, ECD or CCO.

Personally I’ve had more success being recruited by in-house and recruiters (or contacting them directly) as opposed to going through third parties.

Thank you! I’ve also never understood if the third party ones genuinely help you maximize the negotiating part or not. Have yet to be placed through one to be able to compare.

All my jobs have come through recruiters finding me on LinkedIn.

When I’ve applied to posts myself or reached out… crickets.

This! This is why I always keep my book up to date so opportunities can come find me. When I reach out to agencies, it’s impossible to get a response. 🤷‍♂️ I have never had luck with headhunter until recently. 2 of them were able to get me to interview stage. And I just accepted a CD role through a 3rd party headhunter.

I’m new to bonds so apologies if the question seems basic.
I’d like to buy a bond etf through a brokerage account and would like to know how does the dividend and dividend yield work exactly.
For BND, the dividend is 0.15 and the yield is 2.2%. Does it mean that for every BND I purchase I will receive 0.15 USD on a yearly basis?
And are these dividends distributed yearly from the date the bond etf is purchased? Or are they pro-rated somehow? Also do the dividends fluctuate with bons etf price?

Hey! I am currently working as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion consultant but looking to transition into DEI Program Management (or similar) for an organization. I’ve started getting some follow ups for jobs but unsure of a firm salary range. One organization said they were offering 92k which I thought was pretty low. Another organization was transparent and said they were looking at 135k. What’s the going rate? Sidenote, I have 10 years of HR experience, 3 DEI certifications.
