I'm guessing walmart.com doesn't bother hiring actual recruiters because I've now received over a dozen emails from the worst mail merge scripts possible for the same job there

it might be different for designers than devs but I’m noticing startups seem more willing to splash out cash salary than bigger businesses, like the 3 startups I talked to were 15-20% above what I am hearing from other places. used to be you got less cash because stock the recent California law that forces recruiters to reveal salary ranges totally owns btw

oh god some recruiters are still doing the "teehee the rate depends on experience" thing which is literally illegal now. plus since I get spammed with like 5 hits for the same contract gigs I already know what the client is paying [the highest rate you get quoted +35%] so I don't need this bullshit

the companies I deal with aren’t even allowed to hire someone contract outside of an approved vendor to avoid nepotism and equal opportunity issues, plus the vendors have to have liability insurance even consultants have to do giant rfps that get reviewed with a microscope

lol 4 hours before my interview the recruiter cheerfully emails "hey, could you email over your portfolio files in advance? you could also just send them a link"  [I told him I couldn't do that in like the first email I sent him 3 weeks ago, plus my super pro elite OPSEC is a value add for what I do]

I interviewed for a design strategist role at Chase a few years ago, I didn’t take it because the salary offer was kind of sad and there would have been a lot of travel but it’s a big group and they’re definitely investing in UX.

I asked for more than the range the recruiter gave me but only like 10% more so hopefully it won’t be an issue, the company seems pretty chill in a grown up way and I wouldn’t want that to gently caress it up

iospace posted:I get that, but it gets frustrating when I have 10 of them likely calling for the same job in the same day (which isn't any fault of their own, to be fair), and had one in the past tell me to lie on my resume by shuffling where the experience was. I had this, there were 3 jobs in particular [all w2 contract] that I probably got at least 10 calls each for. what's weird about that is these agencies generally get the same money from the company if someone gets hired but I was hearing a range from $65-90 on one job. given the one company could afford 90 that means their bill rate was probably 120-135, so if someone took it for 65 the contract company could be making more money than the employee I'm going to be glad to be done with contracting. I missed pto and even though you tell yourself you can afford to take breaks you generally don't. that said the benefits were good [better than my full time co-workers] and the company wasn't too lovely about "no contractors" stuff, mostly executive rah rah sessions I didn't care about. plus they didn't make me fly to minneapolis in winter

Notorious b.s.d. posted:if they offer was 90, their bill rate was probably 180-200 nah the long term markup is usually 30-40%, nobody would pay 180 an hour for a long term contract designer. that’s honestly 1099 rate for what I do at my last job the recruiter accidentally copied me on the final contract and they were making 30%

the flip side of the time bomb offer is companies who blow a bunch of smoke about how great you are then send a “the person we really wanted accepted an offer we had out to them” email the day before the on-site

pointsofdata posted:Another question: how do you phrase items where you did most of the development work on a project (say 70-90%), but it also had contributions from people on other teams. e.g. you designed and wrote an automated process, another dev on your team did some alerting around it, and someone in the finance department worked out how to fix their workflow so that it was automatable. At the moment I'm putting "lead developer on automation project to xxx" (no caps). I don't want them to think that was a formal title or that it was just a dev project, but do want to communicate that I took responsibility for the development part of the project and delivered on it. you could change it to a sentence and say "led development of xxx automation project," I've heard this is a preferred way to do it but that's probably mostly about avoiding passive voice [you should avoid passive voice on your resume]

I don't really see the beef, people need some resume inflation to show "career velocity" plus if you're hiring someone with 15 years of experience vs 3 years the title has implications, in that they had lots of experience coming in
