When theres a recession coming lol

My concern is less about difficulty of work and more around moving/arbitrary metrics. I've had jobs where I was top 10% for production and QA, but got a substandard evaluation because my boss really cared about how many people saw me on a video call. Which of course directly impacted my bonus. Even when I pointed out that video calls has zero benefit for the company or client and that I was double the production of my average peer, I was told "too bad."

Another reminder these companies don’t care about us despite us killing it in our jobs. Also, some bosses are beyond incompetent, crazy how much power they have.

Consistency. I’ve done sales. I have made top rank in my region. But nothing compares to a consistent paycheck.

I work strictly commission and wouldn’t have it any other way. I remember starting out, though and the fear of the unknown got me! I have to remember that consistency is key and I love my freedom

It could be better, but it also could be worse especially if you’re just starting out and have to build a book of business/pipeline. It could take months to get a first meager paycheck, and a lot of folks don’t have enough savings to hold them indefinitely until they start earning. Unless there was an assurance for some amount of money coming in (or I had 0 bills and lived with my parents) I wouldn’t take a 100% commission job just because I’m too risk averse and the worst outcome is I make nothing.

Job security. Always hear about sales ppl getting cut. I get there’s a quota expectation but just seems risky. It’s a shame because I think I’d be really good at it.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working at Meta as a Recruiting Coordinator under contract. That contract will soon come to term in July. There hasn’t been any talks about extending my contract, so I am getting very nervous about potentially being out of work in July. I am a first gen corporate worker, and I have about 5 years of experience in recruitment. I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?
