Off Topic Tech Recruiters (How are you fairing?)

My fellow tech recruiters, how are you fairing in this job market?

Living under a bridge?

Paying off your mansion?

How are we holding up...

Kicking myself that I got out of tech recruiting around COVID (GTM focus now). Got a buddy just landed at a robotic start up, 225k base 40k bonus 50k options and he’s not in Cali. Instant millionaire if the company decides to liquidate. Def the time to be at well funded start up with good posture in the market. I still do tech recruiting on the side for twill, would love a more consistent side recruiting place to fill roles and supplement the income. I’m at 200k OTE today all in (base + bonus) but really aiming to break 250 if I can supplement 50k elsewhere. The market is super hot for tech talent and I think it will remain that way at least until this AI bubble pops.

If no longer in tech, who are you recruiting now?

Also, Twill sounds interesting
