Someone from a career accelerator reached out me saying that they can help me out with finding a job and they will charge 10% of my first year salary if I get the job. I still need to read through their fine print but wanted to check if anyone has any experience to share working with such agencies.

Super scam

Definitely read the fine print. I've heard that simetimes they will want 10% of whatever job you get next, not just your target job.

Depending on what you're shooting for, you may be better off buying a prep course or other resource and trying on your own for 6 months.

Perhaps 10% of incremental you’d get from what you have now, otherwise why would you pay them 10% of the portion that represents what you make already?!? And, are they helping you get any additional skills, or it’s just marketing you?
Sounds like a scam.

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
