What kind of recruiters are you talking about? I am interested. Most of the tech recruiters I have encountered have been mostly of the low-quality inbound Cyber Coders type, and even the higher-quality ones have been the types who get paid by the company--they have no real relationship with me or incentive to help me personally.
- lopatin 3y agoI'm talking about the ones that are employed by some recruiting firm. Their incentive to help you is that they get a small cut of your salary, which is paid by the company who hires you. And while, yes, you can argue that it is still indirectly from your salary, the opportunities that opened up and salary that was negotiated for you above the initial offer, evens it out, and makes it a win-win I think. BTW I'm not familiar with Cyber Coders but, from an initial Google search, it seems like not the ones that I'm talking about. They seem more .. gimicky, I guess, than the one that I used. When I talked with my recruiter it was more of a smaller shop with deep connections in the Chicago trading industry.

I thought it was x% out of your salary--which may very well be worth it, depending. Does the recruiting firm you used also recruit for engineers for NY offices of trading firms?
- lopatin 3y agoI believe that my firm only does Chicago, but there are similar firms that contacted me that were for NY based companies.
