Unfortunately that was the tail end of the broadcast. Chat threader won $1625...pretty uneventful.

Who was it?

Interviewed with 3rd recruiter yesterday. The background is my “new” job really placed me out of senior range, but I’m not yet manager level. So a bit of limbo when job searching.

First recruiter told me senior is likely my only option, and to expect a big pay cut. Second said senior/manager both options, and that I likely only have a 5-10k downside worse case at senior level. Third recruiter was one of the hottest women I’ve ever seen and said she could get me manager no prob.

Tbh I’m not really qualified on paper to be a manager...though I currently have a higher workload than many finance managers. Also sucks bc the first recruiter seemed the most professional, like the one I could really count on.

Next few months will be interesting.

No offense to Feely but I can’t stand recruiters (in the corporate setting). All a bunch of snake oil salesmen.

It all depends, about 3/4 are snake oil salesman ime

Like a ton of them just have sh*tty contracts with healthcare and tech centers that no one wants and they push them hard even though you repeatedly tell them no. But incredible companies use head hunters too, you’ve just got to find them.

Also, smaller boutique companies use them and you can really lockbox here. Mrs Ava works remote for a 100 person company, she’s right at $90k, 40hr workweek. She got this through a recruiter.

I’ve had 2 major career moves facilitated by recruiters, and I wouldn’t have gotten my current job without one. But yea, a lot of them suck, which is why I contacted 3.

does not sound even remotely interesting mang. Sounds like a tedious process.

Obv answer is to 3way 3rd recruiter and Mrs Ava and get her to lock you up max $$$


Ps, you can interview with recruiters?!?! I've only ever had them hound me over the phone. Wasn't 100% sure they weren't bots

Found some fun skwidz:

damn don - super jelly!

I don't know if I'm allowed to say, although who knows if you guys even remember this poster who has only had 300 some odd posts ITT. Although, that is more than dgiharris but less than the oft forgotten PokerIsTooEasy. Apparently he has been on there before so I shall alert ye of his presence in the future.

I'm assuming if it was ILCD it wouldn't be anonymously reported. And recruiters would be all over him.

c Brewer?

Well if you just guess it correctly right off the bat like that i can't say it wasn't him.

Previous episode:

Wow thats awesome, good for him.

Sick hair too.

Is he the one with 55, and did the QT call?

Appears like he is the 55

Your alt avatars are overlapping my good sir. How's pops by the way?

Finals week sucks!

That is all.

Nice! Did the guy end up calling?

No clue because that is an older episode that I never watched. I assume he called because it's live at the bike and there are a bunch of idiots on there.

What are the pen's thoughts on the keto diet?

Getting ahead of my 2019 goals and trying to find the right diet for me. Keto seems hardcore but I like the idea of it.

Paleo also being researched.

I thought it was good, murdered my cardio though.

I did paleo for a month. It worked but life just got in the way. Interested in keto thoughts though. They seem very similar

Life getting in the way is my main concern. Plan on travelling alot in 2019...keto sounds pretty precise

I lost a ton of weight on Keto, fell off the wagon, gained it all back. Like anything else if you can’t do it for life / make it a lifestyle it won’t work long term.

Felt great while I was on it though and will be giving it another whirl after the holidays.

I haven't changed my diet at all yet in the couple months I've been doing this working out thing. Still enjoying it, though & have gained a few pounds of muscle so I'm only very skinny instead of ridiculously skinny.

Couldn't imagine doing something all precise with all the work & children, but idly considering eating healthier & just broteining it up or something.

Not looking forward to all the resolution people showing up in a couple weeks.
