How do you manage a stealth search in a semi-open office? My boss is very observant, and our desks are close. I think that an increase in midday phone calls or dressing up for interviews will tip him off. Should I tell recruiters to only contact me via email?

"Should I tell recruiters to only contact me via email?". Yes. And for the love of god, DO NOT DO ANYTHING RELATED TO JOB SEARCHING AT WORK OR ON WORK DEVICES!!!!! IT can see this. Your nosy coworkers can see this. It is a terrible idea. Keep it outside of business hours, and if/when you get to the interview stage, take PTO if you have to to avoid giving yourself away.

You can take phone calls during your lunch break. I would recommend asking recruiters to email you and then you can schedule a time to talk with them.

Email could probably help. But honestly, if you're already on your way out, I don't think it matters that much. Just do your job search and try to be quiet about it.

2nd year junior attorney applying to new positions in the Southern California area. Every firm that’s called me to interview are smaller firms with salary ranges of 80-90k. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong — I have had multiple people review my resume, cover letters, etc. It seems like it’s a decently hot market, and I’m just out here getting frustrated.
