Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
