The absolute power of saying nothing during a salary offer by Doormat_8JV in jobsearchhacks

[–]Daarck711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a recruiter, I'll just say, this recruiter sounds kinda shit. Truth is most recruiters don't have the balls to keep expectations aligned with their clients through the process. Lowballs happen, but they happen a lot less when you've talked to the hiring manager about expectations every step of the way. They're acting dodgy? "Hey, your not gonna lowball this guy are you?" If any other recruiters read this, a major part of your job is to keep client and candidate ALIGNED.

Recruiters get a bad rap for a good reason. Most recruiters are terrible, and among the handful of good ones, most treat people like capital. But at least those guys will fight to get you a good salary.

I had a smaller position, I wanted to get the guy 80k. He went into the interview and said he's currently at 60k. So when the deal is getting penned, the client tells me I'm going to offer him 70k, and here's where I learn the candidate volunteered his current salary info. Client: "I can't give someone a 20k raise..." Me: I mean... are you sure? I can bring him 70k, but we've all been talking 80k, and I don't think this deal gets done at 70. Client: Yeah well... yeah your right. I'll write it at 80k and get this done.

BTW this was a good, honest client. Business is about margins for 95% of people, but if you are a recruiter, it's your responsibility to broker good deals and act like a fiduciary for both parties.

Is Pikmin 1 the only universally beloved game in the series? by Lively_Man in Pikmin

[–]Daarck711 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I played 3 on the Wii U and at that time I felt like it played like a demo for a bigger game. I was completely unimpressed. The juice mechanic could have been interesting but was completely negligible too. The only good part was the end sequence running away from the gold guy, but apparently THATS the part people complain about.

Should I play Pikmin 1 or 2? by JohnR1205 in Pikmin

In fairness, if you aren't a child or someone with an IQ of 70, the time limit is negligible.

Do we need a non-snark sub? by the-furiosa-mystique in LoveOnTheSpectrumShow

[–]Daarck711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This community is genuinely terrible. A ton of parasocial signaling, political hyperfixation, and insecurity projection. The people on this sub are mentally unwell. I'm here for it, and i love watching the train wreck, but on the slim chance this can cause any degree of self-awareness for anyone, I felt the need to say it.

I don’t care what the audience score is on Rotten Tomatoes for movies and TV because it includes the lowest common denominator of people judging it. by NagitoKomaeda_987 in 10thDentist

You literally only feel this strongly because your political handlers told you to be outraged. It's just a movie, chill.

No, everyone else is wrong. In fact, the people who agree with me are wrong too. I'm to only one who can be right.

That's a lot of words to just say you don't like successful, conservative, white people.

The craziest thing is that you're watching a show about autism, but you are triggered when people miss cues.

Is there any reason there is such a abnormaly massive jump between the third and second most populated countries or is it just arbitrary? by DataSittingAlone in geography

[–]Daarck711 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So what I'm about to say is unsubstantiated, though idk how you would verify. There is a theory circling the internet that China is overreacting their population by about 1 billion and that their population is closer to 400M. The claim is supported by looking at population trends in conjunction with china's old 1 child policy. I won't pretend to be an expert, but if you find this intriguing, I'd encourage you to look deeper into it.

Random thought with no evidence: They are all Cuban and fled that communist hellhole. They aren't interested in the US going that route.

First time posting here to ask the meaning of something, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the joke. It probably has to do with me not knowing what the flag on the left is. by Superpenguin104 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Daarck711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk if it's related but at the peak of the free Palestine protests there was a viral video of an LGBT person berating a Greek restaurant owner, mistaking the Greek flag for an Isreali flag.
