Saw lots of posts complaining about recruiters, I have to say it’s getting worse these days. One recruiter reached out to me for a job only pays 1/3 of my current base. I ignored her at first because that number is ridiculous. She followed up several time. So, I responded and let her know the salary range is below my target and I specifically let her know it’s only 1/3 of my current pay. However, she kept calling me and insisting this firm MIGHT increase salary if I’m the right candidate.

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out

I’ve worked 2 years at a non profit 501c 3 tech startup. When I started there were 6 employees we now have 22.

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
