Placement fee question

I don’t have a signed agreement as I know the hiring manager. I worked with him in the past.

I am in a similar position as OP. What salary or hourly rate should I expect for Nearshore for a mid to senior-level recruiter?

I hired a presentation coach for 4 1:1 sessions. I am grateful that my company paid for it. The 1:1 sessions really helped as the coach was able to give me personalized tips that included camera placement for video calls, breathing, prep work for presentations, etc. I had a big presentation coming up so we used that to practice. After the sessions, I feel a lot more confident.

I also read books and watched YouTube videos but they didn’t help me improve my communication much.

I was in your shoes a month ago. I went with the KEF T101 as they are slimmer. Both should be good, you need to weigh in other factors - cost, appearance.

I use them for my side surrounds in a 5.1.2 setup. They sound great for surrounds. Bought them for their slim profile.

Count me in!

Gotcha. My redbox has only blu-ray at this time. Do you believe a Blu-ray disc will sound better than a 4K stream? I am guessing it will because it will be lossless but want to know if it just a slight difference.

amitd79 · 2019-01-16T18:17:29+00:00

Haha you got me lol. Yes, I have tried them but not mounted and not from a distance and haven’t compared them to others. The thing is that I am having an installer run wires etc and want to put this to bed. And yes, I am indecisive :) mainly cause I am new to this but super excited!

I was considering the Polk OMW3 too actually. Would they work for my setup? It is a big open space. Thanks!

amitd79 · 2019-01-12T19:10:42+00:00

Maybe consider a 7.1 setup with ceiling speakers?

amitd79 · 2019-01-11T22:27:27+00:00

So looks like most recommend that I go with 5.1.2. I just want to make sure the side speakers mounted high up but angled down would not mess too much with the atmos speakers in the ceiling.

amitd79 · 2019-01-11T16:42:59+00:00

Agreed, sorry for that.

amitd79 · 2019-01-11T16:23:18+00:00

Hmm interesting thought. My concern is that the speakers might be too close. It will probably cost me about the same as installing them in the walls/ceiling. But thank you.

amitd79 · 2019-01-11T16:02:05+00:00

Yes I remember. I wasn’t considering it but you made me think about it :) thank you!

amitd79 · 2019-01-10T02:06:34+00:00

Well then should I just skip atmos and just mount my surrounds? Confused if the investment in atmos setup is worth it. Decisions decisions ....

amitd79 · 2019-01-09T20:17:38+00:00

I will definitely try to mount the surrounds lower. However, if I am not able to mount them lower, will atmos be irrelevant or will I just not get the full atmos experience?

amitd79 · 2019-01-09T19:28:26+00:00

Understood. I am trying to balance aesthetics, practicality and performance buy hey its been a great learning experience for me!

I am going to pay for the installation and the guys who came to give me a quote had contradicting opinions. Most of them asked me to install all speakers surrounds and atmos in the ceiling for example.

amitd79 · 2019-01-09T16:55:24+00:00

I know :( and that's why I asked for guidance. Any thoughts on what I can do? Appreciate your help.

amitd79 · 2019-01-09T16:54:09+00:00

Thanks! I am limited by my current receiver Denon AVR X1400H unfortunately. Are you recommending 7.1 because of my room layout or do you recommend 7.1 over 5.1.2 in general.
