I don’t have a long saga or anything, sorry guys, just maybe wanted to start a casual type conversation on this topic. I’m working with a recruiter/headhunter who is just so frustrating to deal with. Constantly telling me that I have no chance of getting the jobs I want and need to just settle for the first thing he was able to find. I know he’s wrong and that I’m worth more (I am getting interviews at better firms now that I’m sending out by myself and not with him), but it’s still so annoying to deal with him. I can’t “fire” him yet because he is basically holding a couple of job offers/interview hostage right now. Ugh. Anyone dealing with anything like this? (This is in the legal market btw, not sure how the terminology differs for other markets, sorry if it’s confusing.)
