Starting the job search soon, how do you go about working with a recruiter? Is it more likely that I will get a better salary if I work with one?

Just as long as they don’t try to neg you, or sell you on something you didn’t want, use them. I worked with a couple and some were total sleezeballs and some were good to work with. Be on your guard somewhat when talking to them, and work with who you feel comfortable with

Generally speaking, if a job is offered through a recruiter, you will be slightly more easily able to get that job by going through the recruiter with little variance in salary. However, a variety of desirable jobs aren’t offered through recruiters or are only passed to a recruiter after the employer tried and failed to find suitable candidates without one.

Just used a recruiter to get a role. Similar to the above most are the same but some just wanna force you into a role. They don’t get paid till you’re hired. Stand your ground if it’s something you don’t wanna do.

I left as a senior 2 (just progressed) and he negotiate for 90K plus 45k of stock options beating over 4 years. Job originally said 75k-85k. I think it was worth it.

The recruiter can also tell you the range for the job so you know if it’s even worth your time interviewing.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
