A client I worked on earlier this year has an opening for a senior accountant position and I want to apply. How do I go about applying for the position without engagement partner/managers knowing? Will the client let anyone know if they see my app?

Yes they will likely ask the manager of partner if they know you and for some feedback.

If it makes you feel better anytime I was asked about someone, I didn't tell anyone else. Even had a situation where the person applying worked with my partner on another engagement and I didn't tell the partner. Figured its none of my business

Agree - I’ve sat in on multiple meetings with clients and SM where the client either gossips on who from EY applied to positions and why they were or weren’t considering them or asking for their opinions on their performance/knowledge

If it’s something you’re truly interested in, I’d send a note to the client to the effect that you saw the open position, were interested in applying, but are not at a place where you want the people you work with to know. If they come back with “no problem, secret’s safe with me”, then I’d go ahead and apply. If not, maybe that’s not the culture you’d want to work with anyway.

What do you guys think, do recruiters share the real salary/range or are they sharing the low-end range for leverage? Or both?

And does being an internal or external recruiter influence how they approach salary transparency in the early screening/interview phase?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off.

Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
