Im in a spot where my direct manager is a close friend of mine, hence why I took the position. It’s not a good fit to be honest and I’m officially 4 months into my role. I am getting inquiries for some great opportunities from other agencies. Has anyone else out there been in this spot?

If your manager is truly a good friend, the they will realize that you have to do what's best for you and will support you in your decision.

I haven't. But at then end of the day you have to do what is best for you. Regardless of if you have a friend thta is your manager or not.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.

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?
