I’ve been in recruiter hell for the past 7 months. This limbo I wouldn’t wish upon anyone because there’s ALWAYS a conflict of interest. Even if you live beneath your means and have a low standard of living and manage to maintain finances living beneath the poverty level. They make more money when you make more money, so even though my salary requirements out-match any of those I compete with, it is imperative that the employer be informed of such an affordable potential employee. Maybe they learned their lesson with trying to cut corners and save money on web technology that employers are now more willing to pay four times the amount for someone qualified for the same position. This I doubt because from an executive / business owner perspective you want the highest quality work at the lowest cost. This is why the internet has been so stagnant for the past two decades. If the value of my position is best actuated working contract positions than I need to establish a long term relationship with a recruiter, but they make most their money finding contract to hire positions. It upsets me that in this industry we are not recognized by the commitment and passion we have, but the ability to look and sound like you know what you’re doing and ability to fake bureaucracy. I could go on for days how the web industry is corrupt. Maybe I will in another post.
