I just got an offer at a firm. During the interview I asked why the job was open. They told me the last person quit because of family and they told me the associate’s name. I found the associate on LinkedIn. I am tempted to write them and see if they’ll talk to me about the job. What do you think? Is there a down side? Will I get in trouble somehow?
