Have you ever had an employer find out you were leaving before you gave in resignation or they were contacted from a background check? If so how did they find out? Also when you know you are leaving do you start to slack off?

I told my partner a month ago that I am looking for exits.
He was upset and sad, but no retaliation.
Just asked for help on the hirings while I look for things, to empower my senior associates to take on my duties, and to try to figure out what is going with our people and what should they do to make consulting more appealing.

Pay more and probably ask 1 person to do only 1 persons work !

Would anyone from Big 4, MBB, and Kearney be willing to give me some idea on why I’m not getting any first round interviews? Even with referrals I can’t even get a phone screen. I have great work experience with documented success. But it is 2 years of FT, 1 year of internship, and just graduated from a non-target MBA. Is it I’m asking for too much for associate? I’m currently at 140 base and am asking only just to match my base. Or is my experience not enough for senior associate?
