I'm a recruiter at a law firm that recruits for all non legal roles at the firm. I've actually hired a fair amount of people for the different IT teams since I been here and I've built a rapport with some of the managers. I've hired the : End-User Computing Engineering Sr. Engineer, Information Security Operations, Sr. Engineer and not to mention I interviewed and selected a summer intern who just graduated in May and got the IT Application Development job. Fresh out of college, and her salary is damn near almost mine, and she's fully remote. I go in 4 days, my job isn't bad but I want more.
All the hiring managers gave me advice and my job is really good with internal promotion and transitioning teams, but unless they really really like me, my skills have to match up. As a recruiter, I can see everyone's resume's and certs and I don't have any of that. I also applied for the SAN's cyber institute last year and this year. Last year made it to the final stage and didn't get selected. This year, didn't even get past the test.
