Use recruiters to get the best deal.

If your a web designer, developer or software engineer I'm sure your getting one recruiter a day to a week offering you X job.

A lot of ppl don't like to deal with recruiters but for me I'm flattered and think I don't need them now they need me. Thus when they ask how much I seek for their opportunity I significantly jack up my rate. Doing this has led from going from one company(every 2 years) to another each time making significantly more money. Though one company I worked for learned I was going to take a better offer and matched it.



I've never had a recruiter that worked hard on my behalf, every one wants to do as little as they can get away with.
