I applied for a government position 2 years ago. They had an HR issue before and I was denied after I joined Accenture. I appealed the denial and now the government agency will begin processing my application again. As part of this - my current employer may be contacted. Would my manager or people lead be contacted? Also, if I’m not set on taking the government job (huge pay cut) is it worth just declining the offer to not face ramifications with Accenture ?

You should ask them if they will contact your current employer or not. That may be the only way to be certain and if they will, you should decide if it is worth the risk in case you don’t get it or decide to decline it.

Can’t tell how badly you want that job but if you do…ask them to hold off on contacting your company until later in the process. Also could give them the main HR # for reference since they are more removed but could verify your employment dates, etc.

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
