How and when do you disclose in interviews that you were let go from your last job after being placed on a PIP? Do you have to disclose it at all?
Do they even ask? And can I frame why I left in a way that isn't a complete lie?
TLDR: Got put on a PIP and removed from my project at my last firm. Wasn't performing well for a variety of reasons.
Left on otherwise good terms-my managers praised my attitude and integrity. Just couldn't cut it:/ have been working hard the past few months to up-skill

Why would you disclose this? Plenty of valid reasons for leaving.

like

No. Your previous firm is only allowed to legally disclose your tenure and most recent title if a hiring company asks. So you don’t have to disclose you were laid off as your reason for leaving. You could say that you are looking for something different or are looking for “x” out of your work that you weren’t being exposed to in your previous role. Say something that isn’t a lie, but not the full story. And you’re fine.

Do not disclose. If they ask why you left, focus on what you are looking for. Stay future focussed. Do not lie if you find yourself in a corner but that should be easily avoided if you have your approach figured out.

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
