I did the same. My boss was supportive and even helped me get an interview. We had a great relationship. I also think they appreciated that I was completely honest with them and wanted to see me do well. Depends on your agency, team, boss, etc. Whatever you do, just use common sense

I highly doubt anyone will confront you about it even if they do find out. It’s just a job, it’s not personal. People leave all the time

Doubt it’ll be brought up but get ready to move as they’ll likely look for your replacement if they find out

depends on who you work for. I worked for sociopaths that would spend time stalking you online and monitoring your slack conversations that would fire you for so much as showing affinity for another agency. but I’ve also worked for nice people who would gladly actively help with the search.

They won’t be thrilled (unless they want you to leave) but won’t do anything. Once they know, it’s best if you do leave, though. You won’t be getting raises, promotions or the best projects if they have to push for you (and they do).

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Hey Guys. Regarding the forced layoffs in PS. It’s high time we unite and hit them back. I’ll request all people who’ll receive the video connect email from PS to do one important thing. Use a a pen camera or a hidden camera(small) in your pocket before attending the call and record the call and events. These peoples should not be spared. Try to get some evidence and let’s expose to public media and other legal teams. You can do this anonymously thereby saving others from this crap.
