In March, I was told that I'm being counseled out with 4 mos to find another job. I have been actively seeking roles since then. I have had multiple screening calls and first round interviews, but nothing solid except for one role with a T4 consulting firm where I cleared the final round. I only have 3 weeks left at my current job, hence,considering this role. It is a contract-to-perm (6mo), 10-15% less in comp, and comes with risk of T4 reputational hit. Would you take it? Looking for advice.

If that were my only option, I'd take it and use that time to keep looking for another position. The alternative seems to be having no income. Stick with it, keep working hard (to maybe go perm), or find something better during that time.

I'd take it while continuing to apply. Ideally you'll get an offer from a firm with a better rep and can join before spending too much time with the T4 firm. Not a great situation, but it's still better than having no money coming in.

Hello Fishes,

I need some advice regarding this situation and what to do. So I work for a company that offers outsourcing services to major investment banks around the world. I have been working for a new client for about six months now and they seem to like my work so far. Recently I saw that they're hiring to get people on their team at my level. My question is, should I talk to my client and try to pursue them to consider me for the role they're hiring for?

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
