These recruiters need to educate their damn clients. Tell them straight up you're under paying for what you want.
The nikkas hitting them with the "rate, remote?" Line off rip are smart af. I went on a job interview last week only for them to tell me it starts at $20 an hour
$20 an hour in NYC?!? For an office sales job and I have 6 years experience bruh luxury building doormen make more than that and just sit there all day collecting Amazon packages here and there. I already had an offer from another company in my back pocket for the same job $32 an hour plus commission and that increases once I have a permanent site.I see that company reposted the position as a fresh ad on indeed with no salary range again LMFAO. These jobs have worker shortage, want folks with experience and are offering garbage pay to boot
make it make sense. I'm glad NY passed a law requiring all job ads post salary ranges.
I asked you b*stards for help on a household name company reaching out and NONE of you had advice 
All that 'Six figures' talk... Ya'll cap 
Any current or former recruiters here? How do you like it?
Sounds like a good problem. I will be 4 years deep in a month and can fugazi my resume up. Trying to see if I can get a touchdown into six figures but best believe if you just getting into tech, competition is fierce. The people who are eating the most have some years under their belts and moving into mid and senior positions.

I keep hearing this but these places are still ghosting candidates, requiring five+ years of experience for 'entry level' positions, and refusing to consider new graduates even if they have internship experience.
I was getting people contacting me daily..... Good to see what's out there.

All that shyt is CAP......there is no job crisis, they do not hire Black people point blank.
When I was hiring for my open positions under me at my old job, the recruiter's would rarely send me Black candidates. When I found Black candidates, I would try to hire them and I would get overrided, so what I did is that I worked with the temp agency that the company had a contract with and hired a brother and paid him more than the others under me.
My manager was mad as shyt and I did not give a fukk, I was planning on leaving the job anyways. I would argue with my manager every week because they wanted to get rid of him and told the brother your not going to stay here, your work her for a couple of months, and soak up the game from me and I'll help you move on to a something else.
He worked there for a couple of months and every week I was arguing with my manager, then he told me that he found another job and is going to start and it is paying way more money and I told him see nikka I told you and then about 2 days later I quit and walked off the job.

Coli brothers and sisters, please take advantage of this moment we’re in. Who knows how long this will last. Tech will get you paid.
there’s people out here getting $1M in total comp. I’m not embellishing at all. Me myself, I’m a over $500k in total comp right now

I've always been interested in tech, but I wouldn't even know where to start. My ass is 43.. i aint tryna go to school for 3-4 more years just to start making money. That's just not possible for me.

breh, tech isn’t just coding or writing queries. There’s a lot of roles out there: sales, customer success, customer support, etc. you get your foot in then you work your way around

This really only applies to software devs and Senior IT roles. Trust me there is not a crisis of hiring desktop support/service desk techs.
If your a developer or a senior cybersecurity, Cloud engineer, system admin, data analyst/scientist, or network engineer you can name your price. You cant fake these roles you need to know your stuff and show real experience. Most places will run use a 3rd party to run a thorough background and will sniff you out at interview.

And shyt like this is retarded.
I got a guy I work with with 2 degrees, certs, and working on his doctorates. He’s not even trying to advance in his position… he doesn’t want it because the pay isn’t shyt.
So he’s leveling up while working here and will bounce and easily make 150k+. Just more so doing it for the experience time as well but getting 60-70k to do more work (and it’s usually a broad spectrum of shyt), he’s like fukk that shyt. Most of us are
Recruiters be smoking crack out here..These nikkas only offering a $3 raise to transition to the next position and requiring everyone applying to get a cert for shyt they don’t even do… and not even offering to pay for the cert.
It’s not a bad stepping stone position but I’m like, whats going to stop someone from going somewhere else for higher pay once you get that cert? Absolutely nothing and they’ll be searching once again…
And it is definitely the 3rd party recruiting companies fault. Most companies give them a set amount of income to pay the employee the recruiters find, but they want to pocket over half while paying the “high level talent” next to nothing. Then wonder why they can’t find or keep losing talent.
If the position is “Entry Level” or “Mid”.. then why tf you requiring 10+ years experience, degrees, certs, etc… especially in an area where the cost of living is insane.
nikkas needing second jobs and roommates with degrees and experience just to make ends meat. It’s not even the hiring companies fault, it’s the recruiting company.

In-house recruiters are much better to work with than 3rd party contract recruiters. In- house get their commission and you are getting the full amount offered. The 3rd party get their commissions and a cut of your pay

And thats why there’s a hiring crisis. Cats with 6 certs and 10+ years of IT experience getting screwed out of pay, downplaying skills, and those meeting the unrealistic requirements getting underpaid offers.
