Im trying to recruit and do informational interviews after work but my senior manager always wants to get dinner or drinks when we get out at 9/10. How do I handle this and recruit while on the job?

Keep at least one day free for yourself. Telling them something like I have plans tonight. More than 2 dinners is overkill to me unless you’re working through stuff

Tell them you have an interview and then do it.

That doesn’t sound prudent

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

The role is still listed on LinkedIn but when I click apply it takes me to the BCG careers page with the note saying the role has been filled

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂

Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
