Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Had a call with a recruiter today. I think it went well. He seemed fairly optimistic he could get me somewhere for my asking salary range. But he also said that I might have to move my timeline up because of people in public starting to look after April might make it tougher for me. So, who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Why wouldn't your timeline be immediate? Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Professional courtesy? We're right in the thick of budget and if I left now it would be a huge burden on my budget partner. I was aiming more for start juneish as we finalize budget early May so I might have to leave immediately following that and hope there's no issues. I figure it'll take at least 3 weeks for the hiring decision anyways and then they shouldn't mind if I have to wait another 3-4 weeks before starting. I wouldn't think anyways. But I wasn't really planning on sending out resumes until April but now it looks like next week. Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Wait, is this the place you worked then left for a very brief period then came back to? Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The place I'm working at now? Yes. Worked here for 2.5 years, went somewhere else for a year, and then they made me an offer to come back, so I did. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Have you talked to anyone about your desire to do more? I remember you talking about cutbacks and being worried about getting laid off, but what else is backing your wanting to move on? Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Have you talked to anyone about your desire to do more? I remember you talking about cutbacks and being worried about getting laid off, but what else is backing your wanting to move on? I don't know, just kind of want to? Want a new challenge and don't want to wait the 5 or so years to get in pay what I could probably get somewhere else. The only real career advancement is just title bumps, especially for a department like finance where we're not a revenue generator. There's multiple people in our department who have been here 15+ years and are just "senior" whatevers. I'm sure some of that is lack of ambition but it's also just how it is. Without getting too specific, the executive team is making some decisions that i don't really agree with and while I know it's pretty standard stuff for the shit to roll downhill but if I'm going to be covered in shit Just feels like it's time, you know?

hank213 1,823 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Yeah all that May-Juneish talk sounds like hedging to me. Also, deferred timelines isn't what recruiters do, especially when someone is eminently qualified, in my experience. So break off recruitment initiative now and circle back around when you're actually ready to go, or be ready to jump at what they give ya now. You're in a "do or do not, there is no try" scenario here. I don't see a problem with 30 days from hire to start date. 2 weeks to finish like a professional is expected and 2 weeks to relocate. Good luck big guy. Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 These people asked you to come back after you left. It just seems like they would be willing to have a genuine, big picture conversation with you. Hank is right, the recruiter makes a solid argument about the seasonality of your profession. My experience was that they don't hustle as much for you if you give off the vibe that you aren't serious about the job search. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Vince Staples is legit, I'm jealous. Phone interview setup for Monday. Wasn't a position I was super in love with from the description but the recruiter guy says its a great company up there and I figure at the very least it's interview practice and if they offer me and the money is right there's no law that says I can't keep looking for another job if I don't like it. At least I don't think there is. Can I get confirmation from my lawyer? Link to post Share on other sites
