The offer says it expires in two days? So, it's an exploding offer?

Had a terrible recruiter... team ended up being mediocre. Might be a sign

There is so much recruiting going on right now. I’m guessing they just move those that have a counter offer to the end of the line. Not the best answer, but they can pick and choose a bit these days.

Update: Sent another email, clarified that missing the deadline is not my fault. I got the call back at the end of day

So how did the counter offer go?

The recruiter didn't like it. But let's see. Haven't heard back yet

I had some interviews with EY. They stood me up 2 separate times in a row with no phone call. I told them how unprofessional it was and they told me they are much to busy for recruiting and I should be thankful. Hahahhahbaabahababahba. Yea I'm thankful I dodged that bullet.

Similar thing happen to me recently at SAP when I was interviewing. I had 4 interviews that day. During each interview their phone rang, with the ringer on 2-5 times during each, at least once during each the call was answered and they were all responding to texts at least a few times.

If that was me doing that with my phone they would have been pissed. I called them out on it, they didn’t like being challenged and I didn’t give a shit

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

Happy Wednesday!!!!

I’m currently a Recruitment Consultant at an RPO with 4.5 YOE in Toronto. I received a salary raise last year. Recently I had another conversation with my manager for a comp raise. They was able to speak with their higher ups. Unfortunately, I got to know that they wouldn’t be able to increase my pay because of the economy. I’ve been working on heavy req loads and multi projects. But they are signing me up for a leadership program with a potential raise next year. Thoughts?

Had a bit of a fright this morning. While I was walking Rue we crossed paths with a guy with two huskie mix dogs and they started barking at rue... we just kept walking by and then I heard the guy yell out and one of his dogs broke his leash and cane at rue. I kept my body between them until I could pick her up and at that point the dog backed off and the guy grabbed him. He asked if rue was ok but didn’t say sorry or anything 🙄 I was definitely more scared than rue, she was wagging her tail and pressing on to the park after....
