How long do open offers really last? How can I find out the pay band for certain roles? Thanks!
By “open offers”, do you mean as I gave you an offer and you’re making up your mind? If so, that varies company to company. Some companies push for 24+ hour responses. Some companies are cool with 1-2 weeks. If you have other interviews, disclose those and ask for time to evaluate all options. Pay bands are very hard to come by. Even as a employee under HR, they don’t just send an Excel spreadsheet out every year to update everyone. Anecdotal advice might be more easily obtained.
How would one find out the real pay range for a position? Can we just ask what it is or would that merit a fuzzy vague answer?
What works best in salary negotiations aside from competing offers?
Be honest, be reasonable. Recruiters are mostly aware of what other companies pay for each role. If you ask for a $350,000 base and I know you’re an E4 at Facebook, I’ll tell you to have a nice day. Additionally, flat out asking for a number is okay, so long as it’s not lightyears away from the original offer. I’d much rather a candidate come to me and say “Thanks for the offer of $150,000 and 100 shares. If you can get me $155,000 and 110 shares, I’m prepared to agree” than to say “This offer wasn’t what I wanted. Can you do better?”

Do tech recruiters have a monthly quota to hit and do they persuade/dissuade candidates from teams depending on any particular incentive?
Yes and no. We do have quotas but they vary widely on role, level, requirements, org, etc. Recruiters care primarily about offers being accepted. That’s the key metric. There might be a slight nudge if a team is super desperate for candidates or a certain team’s deliverables are in jeopardy but at the end of the day, I want you to accept an offer with my company foremost, with my team next.
Does your job depend on the quota? Or do you get paid according to the quota?
How comparable is TC of a recruiter with that of a dev?
If you’re a Dev, rest assured you’ve got most of us beat. ;) All joking aside, recruiters can make some good money but I’d be surprised if a recruiter was making more than a dev (at the same level).
Has the bar at Amazon been lowered?
Or even sending a message after you accept
Recruiting is a cutthroat world. Most recruiters in tech experience response rates significantly <50% and, depending on role, could even be <20%. Some recruiters would rather spend that 30 seconds to write a message to connect with you while others would rather connect with 10 other profiles without sending a message. Not saying it’s right, just explaining the mentality.
Any incentive for you to make a diversity hire?
What happens if candidates decides to back out after accepting an offer(Current company offers higher pay ) ? Are companies willing to negotiate then ? Does candidate get blacklisted?
I am going through something similar currently hence the question.
Really a case by case basis. As recruiters, we can usually get a sniff of someone trying to just pork us for more money. Not always, but sometimes. If you’re trying to renegotiate an agreed-upon offer, that’s a bit of a bad look. Some companies will toss you an extra 10k. Some companies will say “You were prepared to leave before. Accept a counteroffer at your own risk” and be done with you.
How far in the past do FANGs look when conducting background checks? What are some of the top reasons for rejection?
I believe the standard background check is 7 years but some can be 10 years. To be honest, I’m not sure if that’s a company thing or state thing. I just know those two numbers for length of time. When you say top reasons for rejection, do you mean reasons candidates don’t get hired? Or reasons candidates reject offers? Etc
Sorry it's late, I meant reasons from the background check process that gets candidates rejected.

TC? How to get into recruitment from being a dev?
TC has a huge range. From high 5 figures to 200k+. Based on experience, skillset, etc. Numbers purely for IC, not manager. You sure you want the career change? Haha. Partner closely with recruiting teams and share your interest with a recruiting manager and your manager to transition. Good luck!
