Have you ever been fired as a result of your employer realizing you are starting to look elsewhere? I’m not 100% sure, but I feel like my boss knows I’ve been interviewing at some other companies. We don’t have the best relationship and I’m worried they will get rid of me before I can secure another position. Does this actually happen to people?

Are you full time? They would have to stack up a case with HR to get you fired. If you’re a contractor you can get let go any second.

I would be happy to get fired while I’m looking for a new job so I could collect unemployment knowing I was going to leave that firm anyways.

For what it’s worth I’m reasonably sure they know I’m interviewing and I haven’t been fired (yet). But it’s Europe so much harder to let people go in general

They can't really fire you. Is your state an at will state?! I would look into that because they don't really need cause.

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.

Hello,fishes!(1YOE-SDET)
I'm trying to attend several interviews. My current CTC is <10LPA, therefore even if I switch jobs and am offered a package that is 40%–50% higher than my current CTC, my new income won't be much higher than 12LPA–13LPA. However, I am on the lookout for even better ones. So, if there is a negotiation, can I mention to HR that I already have an offer of at least 12 lpa and persuade them to give me more? Will this ruse succeed? Or will they demand to show an offer letter?
