Friend introduced me to a poc at a role I’d potentially be interested in, but background check would take 6-12 months. Just got promotion at current firm and feeling content to stay. I’d be interested in the other company in the near future, ie 1-2 years.

If I didn’t directly know the person, I’d interview to see how I do, but I don’t want to waste this person’s time for the time being. What would you do?

Depending on how complex your life is it could take some time. I’d interview, there’s no harm in seeing what’s on offer and if it takes 12 months then you can decide at that point if it’s for you.

I would tell them the same vs outright rejecting. Like “I’m pretty content my current role , and I got promoted. And I’m not looking to switch, but happy to have a discussion”. Unless you have absolutely zero interest in the job

I already spoke with them earlier this week to learn more about the role and was caught off guard when they said they’re hiring and asked if I’m interested. Might email to let them know I’d be interested in future. I’m looking to transition projects internally as my current role is not my favorite

A lot can happen in 6-12 months. I should hope anyone giving the interview would be cognizant and considerate of that.

Currently working in-house for a large bio pharma - like the company and most of the people, but the work is really getting monotonous and I just leaned through the grapevine that I am making significantly less money ($15k to $30k) than others in the same level/grade as me. The work I do is equally difficult and I have a smaller team because people have left, so there is no way “type” of law justifies this. I think I just did a poor job negotiating my salary and raise. Any tips on what I can do?
