    Salary Q: working through recruitment firm vs full time

    An update on my story: It seems like a review may be put into limbo for who knows how long. Three weeks ago when I mentioned it, it sounded very likely soon, whereas now it seems unlikely by the response I got from my supervisor. Now, I don't think this has anything to do with my performance...

    Salary Q: working through recruitment firm vs full time

    Yeah, I certainly don't want to be known as a job hopper. That's a good plan: stick it for a few years, and if it's no longer the money and/or work I'd like, look for something else. As to #3 -- I'm not sure what the position is worth to the employer - I don't have anything / anyone for...

    Salary Q: working through recruitment firm vs full time

    Thanks for the advice. I too work in an inexpensive city, which has become cheaper mainly due to the downsizing of most of the companies in the city. I suppose I could move and make more, but I'd like to stay near home at least for the near future, so I'm glad I found a place :)
