Lady reached out to me about an entry level marketing position with pay range 60-64K

I am a senior consultant with 0 marketing experience and my total comp rn is $140,000

Because it’s purely a numbers game for them. Contact 1,000 people, 900 aren’t qualified and are auto-rejected by the system, 50 are too expensive, 30 aren’t interested, 20 apply and get resume reviews, 7 get interviews, 2 get offers, 1 accepts.

A1 because it's cheaper to hire the lowest cost recruiters in India who don't have the training for that kind of diligence and telling them to shoot their shot, than it is to hire good recruiters with coherent processes, and tends to yield similar results either way.

I manage the LinkedIn page for a pretty senior consulting partner at my big 4 firm. They get a lot of inmails for various, usually to lead consulting practices, c-level type roles, etc.

Once I saw a message come in for an associate level audit role that was a contract position 😂

“What’s the range, I don’t want to waste anyones time”

Recruiter “it’s super competitive but we can’t share a number. What’s your salary?”

Had a recruiter reach out about a software engineer role requiring 4 years of experience.. I’m also in consulting..

I constantly get accounting roles in my inbox and have consulting all over my LinkedIn it’s so dumb

“Hi we’d like you to join our audit practice!”

I had a 1.5 year stint as an entry level financial analyst position about 20 years ago and it's been the last bullet on my resume ever since.

I still get at least a couple of recruiter spam emails for entry level financial analyst positions every week or two.

Just got one this morning that pays the princely sum of $32.17/hr!

Yeah I’ve gotten some contractor trade surveillance roles, also entry level. They fail to realize I’ve totally switched industries, i have an mba, I’m revenue generating. What a weird world
