Thoughts on working with a recruiter? Helpful or not? Why?

A few years into a career/resume it better (or how important) for the future to choose a client with bigger clients vs local clients?

I want to get to a point where I can have more agency in where I work. I know there are other considerations but would local ones make future searches harder? Particularly when you had a couple (but not a lot) of decently known clients on your resume in the past?

I've always thought bigger clients/companies can help be a base for your resume.

Advice needed! I interviewed with my favorite company 3 months ago for a role I was interested in but had no experience. They were looking for someone with experience so they passed on me. The recruiter and I had a great relationship, she said she has a different role for me in mind and would give me a call when it opens up and told me I can reach out in a month or two. Working with this recruiter for the past few months has seriously been the best experience and has inspired me to (cont below)

The PE culture is sick. The 20 something VP was rude to our partner because our team took thanksgiving and the day before off and it was in the engagement letter that we were gonna be off. He kept emphasizing that his team did our job while we were on a break. Dude we are not sick like you and we have lives. I see something about how s**t the PE culture is in every deal we support.

Like these sickos make fun of us for working 80+ hours weeks for them and taking thanksgiving off.

Hello Fishbowl!

Come August, I'll have worked at FNMA for 5 years. I will have worked in Multifamily analytics, credit risk modeling, and now single family capital markets on the trading desk. I've learned a lot and like where I work, but I'm starting to think about opportunities outside the GSEs. I was hoping to get some ideas!

I’m trying to transfer departments at my company and I talked to the MD of the department i wanna transfer to, and told him working remotely is a requirement to me, and he said he’s not sure if that’s possible, and that would depend on HR and the hiring manager.

What is the FIT team at Kroll? Can someone shed some light

A recruiter reached out to schedule an initial call. After I responded, I was ghosted. No real question just seems so strange since they reached out to me.

This is a long shot, but does anyone know someone who’s looking for a Financial Analyst (I specialize in Real Estate)? I’m based in LA and looking to make the move; any advice/thoughts would help

Edward Jones advisor with 30 million AUM and roughly 250k gross production. Been there for almost 4 years. Got an offer at Merrill Lynch to take over a 100 million dollar retirement transition plan in 5 years, or to join a 5 person Merrill Lynch team that manages a lot.

Pros to EJ: Have my own office, a year or two away from partnership, great office setting and client satisfaction.

Pros to Merrill: Bump in compensation, additional tools and services w banking, ability to take over assets.

Looking for advice: been at my new job for about 6 months and absolutely hate it. I’m overworked and underpaid. A friend is a VP at a fund that I’m interested in joining and has offered to refer me but he won’t be involved in the hiring process past that point. Do I take the referral now and risk them thinking I’m a job hopper or do I suffer for 6 more months and hope they’re hiring then?

I’m looking for a new opportunity and I’m open to either wealth management, financial planning, hedge funds, private equity, asset management, or trading. I’m more of a hunter/closer not a gatherer. I manage $100 Million in assets, but my book is mostly NOT portable. I’m a CFP, ChFC, hold the Series 7, 65, and Life insurance licenses. I have 12 years experience in wealth management and I’m finishing up my MBA soon with a concentration in Mergers & Acquisitions. 3.6 GPA from top 50 university.
