Do you still entertain opportunities/interviews even if you’re contented in your current agency and are highly likely to reject interested parties?

Why shouldn't you? Keep your options open fam

I feel like I don’t need to look for options right now...? So to save us both time and effort? I feel like it’s rude to go through interviews and whatnot if I know in the end, I won’t likely accept their offer.

Yes always take the meeting. Content is dangerous and your agency could go through lay offs at any time... taking the meeting ensures you are building connections and networking. And who knows, you could hear about something that intrigues you.

I'm bad at this, honestly. I get hit up for positions sometimes that I know I'm not gonna be interested in and I don't like waisting people's time. Other times I'm too honest and say I'm not looking to make a move but interested in learning more but then the recruiters don't seem as interested chatting. My goal is to try to respond better to inquires.

I feel you. This is exactly what I’m feeling and going through right now. But with the responses here saying just go for it, I might actually entertain one and just hear what they have to say even when I know I won’t totally accept. Hope we get better at this.

The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
