I’m interested in an open position at a client I’ve worked with, but not dead set on leaving for industry just yet. If the partner on the account lets them know I’ve applied, and I end up getting an offer, would it be a bad look if I decided not to accept?

If you’re getting the partner involved (either intentionally or not), I would say yes.

I thought the same. I do like this position, but feel much less comfortable applying and seeing what happens when it’s this situation. Thank you.

Also, now that you have applied you are officially not independent of that client anymore, so you need to talk to the engagement partner anyway, because you won't be able to work in that client. Technically, even if you "think" about applying for a job at a client, you are no longer independent, but that is a bit of a stretch.

I have not yet applied, but thank you for the insight.

If the partner on the account lets them know you applied, and you do not take the job, it will not look bad at all from either the partners perspective or the clients. Being upfront about it, finding out the facts, and making the best decision for you would be impressive compared to the way many people go about it.

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
