About to start at a new company, but I’ve been contacted by a recruiter at another firm about an open role. I don’t want to jeopardize my upcoming start, but I’d still like to understand the role, comp, WLB and overall offer.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What’s the best way to handle this with the recruiter? Is it reasonable to take the call and keep it exploratory without mentioning that I’m about to start a new role?

Just say yes and hear what they have to say. Don’t trust the recruiter, keep quiet about your current situation - they don’t need to know

Yes
