Friend’s dad passed away, he’s been at his job for about 3 months but now is thinking of jumping somewhere that pays more to support his family (I’d refer him to my job). Is this a reasonable story...

I don’t necessarily agree with D1. He could have been somewhere with a better work life balance or somewhere doing government/nonprofit work that often doesn’t pay as well. If it’s one of those situations then that basically is a good story. Also make is slightly less specific. “My dad passed away and it made me rethink what I was doing and take a step back and I realized consulting was more what I wanted to be doing right now.” Or something similar

I say no because you can't really just pack up and look for a new job that pays significantly more without experience/skills/etc.

That’s a good answer. Yeah,
He’s working in government right now with the goal of being a Foreign Officer and having wfh days. We have a federal business that I imagine could be a more natural transition but I’m sure pays more

...to answer why he’s leaving his company so quickly or should he wait till the 1 year mark?

Please refer him . Right now he can take up starting positions as well without loosing anything but with a better starting salary.

I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.
