Do hiring managers usually call the current manager to hear about the candidate before extending a job offer? (Analyst/Associate) Should i proactively email the names of my ex-managers i am good with?

Going to PE - my future employer only called references, didn’t ask to speak with my staffer. (References were two MDs and an associate, fwiw). Would imagine the hiring manager will ask for people to speak with, so yes I would connect him/her with people you have a good working relationship with, doesn’t have to be your staffer/manager though.

Just wait for them to ask. Have never heard of scenario where they call without notifying you first. Be patient, you’ll be fine

He didn’t ask yet. But during the interview he asked if my manager knows i am looking for smth else. I was just hoping they don’t call my manager directly without notifying me. If they do ask i could give them my references for sure. If i proactively give them names they should talk to without them asking first - is that a bad sign?

Agreed - there is no upside for them to put you in a difficult position with your current manager. Good luck!

Yes they do and your best answer is “I will let them know once I get closer to the offer and will be happy to connect the two of you” if a prospective manager reaches out to current manager without notifying you, it’s something to think if you want to work for someone like this , I do know managers who screw you just because you are leaving them

A hiring manager would not be reaching out for references from your current manager.
Most BB type firms have a no reply policy and further if asked via HR will barely confirm more than dates of employment (which they can get from ADP on the background search anyway).
So, no they won't be doing that.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match).

Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
