> haven't you noticed that most employers use third party agencies these days?

I have not noticed this in MA, and companies that do this go to the bottom of my response list. I had the same reaction as the grandparent poster, and something that tries to foist those sorts of things off on me is an immediate "nope, I'll look elsewhere."

I understand you very well. We're from NYC and most jobs here are in the financial industry. They pay really well but it's hard to go through all those staffing firms and, later, interviews.

My co-worker says "there's life outside of financial industry" but, somehow, we get to stick to "financial" jobs.

Well, that's been my experience for the past 15 years or so.

There's a reason why I only chat about consulting opportunities with fintech companies. =) Ain't got time for FT for them.

Still, financial industry has lots of high paying jobs as well as bonuses to neglect it.

Would you resist making 140K on a base full-time? Keep in mind benefits and bonuses too.
