I applied for a role at Big Tech and I have my phone screen scheduled today with a VP today. At the same time my current company has pitched for a project at this big Tech and I am scheduling an interview call with the same VP this week to discuss our approach and proposal. My company pitched the work based on my credentials and experience - what should I do?

Let them know in the interview. Maybe theyd be willing to reschedule while you’re interviewing with them. If they can get you, why would they hire the company you currently work for!

like

I would alert your recruiter and remind them that you would like to keep your application confidential.

There is also risk here if the company has any sort of non-compete with your agency. Some agreements will ban a client from hiring ‘key staff’ for some period of time.

Plus I have several partners on the email chain going around to the VP. Do you think he will tell them about my job application?

I would ask him not to during the interview.

There's a debate about this going on in the Google bowl, which I find interesting. Most people are saying they don't have a problem with this, but I think it's deeply unfair.

The argument that resonates with me is that if you move to a LCOL city the value of your output isn't all of sudden worth 25% less.

Curious what others in the industry think.

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.
