Thanks for taking a minute to leave a review! I'm glad to hear you like the ability to make $90K+ out of school while developing client facing management skills. I also hear you on some of the work being repetitive (as I'd argue it can be in any job) and we are working to improve some of these steps through iterations of our system. There is certainly a sales dimension to the role (along with the upside that can come from a sales role!) along with project management and client service dimensions. If you are looking to index heavily on one of these three dimensions, the role may not be a good fit. However we most commonly hear that associates enjoy the variety through these different pieces. - Sloan Danenhower, VP - SF

Pros

Rapid Progression & Recognition: Performance is directly rewarded here. If you hit your goals and show drive, the path to promotion and career growth is transparent and fast. Strong Team Culture: The team energy is fantastic. Everyone is highly collaborative, supportive, and commercially minded, which makes for a great working environment. High Autonomy: From day one, you are given real ownership over your projects (like leading recruitment events, managing candidates, and driving partnerships), allowing you to grow your commercial skills rapidly.

Cons

High Velocity & Pressure: The work is very fast-paced with strict timelines and high-volume expectations. It is not a place where you can coast, and you need to be comfortable working under commercial pressure. Resilience is Key: Sourcing and recruiting require a great deal of resilience. You have to be comfortable with rejection and persistent in finding creative solutions to hit your targets.

Pros

The team culture here is what keeps me around. People genuinely want to help each other do well, and it feels collaborative in a way that's hard to find elsewhere. What I've appreciated most is how much autonomy you get over your own career. I've been able to take on responsibility early, learn a ton, and grow quickly without anyone holding me back.

Cons

It's fast-paced and the bar is high. You've got to be comfortable figuring things out as you go. But honestly, if you like being challenged and want to develop fast, it's a great place to do that.
