If I ask my recommender who is my former supervisor that I worked with up until this summer, could I still list the recommender as my current supervisor?

Did they leave the firm?

I’m leaning towards yes regardless tho.

Technically no. If you have a different supervisor now then the person you are referencing is a 'former supervisor.'

Just use the optional essay to say that was my supervisor from start date through summer 2025 and is well positioned to speak to your work, leadership, contributions and impact. Your current manager has only known you for a few months so isn't well positioned to evaluate you. And perhaps that individual doesn't know that you are applying and you aren't comfortable sharing because it could jeopardize your position.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
