Very new to being headhunted by recruiters on LinkedIn, should I be concerned with sending recruiters my resume or anything along those lines if they’ve messaged me?

I would be careful in choosing which ones you work with. Some recruiters try to fill the same positions and can become messy. Some can be really pushy one they have your resume so just know what you want and stay firm. And good luck!

I second this. I had a very awkward experience with a recruiter. Sometimes they don't want to hear what you have to say and keep trying to force you to meet with someone even after you say multiple times that you have different plans.

Yes do not send resume to a recruiter until you’ve decide they are the one you want to work with. I would only work with at most two recruiters at a time and make sure you tell them they can not send your resume with out you knowledge. Recruiters sometimes just submit your resume to company database as then they will get paid out if you get a job there within 12 months of their submission regardless if they helped you. Make sure you vet any recruiter you want to work with.

I was told to expect a written offer from one of the Big4 soon, however the HR team has stated that they are experiencing a back-log and will get back to me as soon as they hear back.

Can they ghost you if they have already given you an offer (via phone) and you have settled compensation and start date with them verbally?

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.
