How do you go about references when applying to other jobs? I want to apply just to see my options but I don’t want anyone at my current job to think I’m not serious about my current position. Have you had issues asking for a reference from a coach or someone from a current job where no one even knows you’re applying elsewhere? I have a great relationship with my current manager and I know she’d give me a great reference but I don’t know if I’m ready to ask her for one.

Never ask for reference on your current job, will get you silent booted.

Typically offers are contingent on a reference check, so you only provide references when you are ready to move.

Curious what the current Employee Referral Bonuses look like in B4 firms? As a smaller firm, our people are being inundated by recruiters, but also staff/seniors from B4 firms looking to poach, I assume because there is significant financial incentive. How good are the referral bonuses at your firm?

Not easy to post but need some help. Got into consulting 3 years ago with Deloitte. Loved the work, had issues with politics and my onboarding process.

Still really want to stay in consulting, but have had awful luck to date, & I'm already getting funny looks about the unemployment gap. Any leads? Anything appreciated!
