Some of these salaries & rates. Some of these recruiters are listing or calling with is really questionable. Even more so when they ask if you have a PMP? I know many unemployed pms who are being low balled while having the PMP.

💣 There has been an explosion of secondary recruitment agencies who are filling roles for primary agencies. They are taking a cut on top of another cut so it’s the client , 2-3 agencies, then you.

Make sure you ask them if it’s their direct client & their brand is on the client’s “VOR - Vendor of record list” before even moving forward, otherwise it WILL be a headache.

If you get the low paying gig, you’ll end up jumping through ridiculous amount of hoops tracking your time 4 times in 3 different platforms and trying to bill them according to a convoluted 20 step process just to get your invoice paid.

Legally there are things in place to help you enforce they pay you without the hoops but a lot of them sadly don’t even know the laws here.

It’s so many random agencies. I forgot which job board I’m on. My regular agencies already know what roles to call me for. It’s just shocking such low rates & client requesting a PMP is “nice to have”. I just say no thank you. I know the lowest I’ll consider. Thanks for your wisdom.

Digital/digitally-savvy PMs, can I pick your brains? I’m up for a Sr. PM position at a creative agency working mainly w/tech clients.

Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!
