Call away! Most managers love to help (we have experience and egos). Even if they don't have a job, they'll give advice and possibly leads.

Get out of the mindset that you're being annoying. This is your world!! Hiring managers are always looking for proactive coworkers.

Nope. There are no cultural barriers when it comes to head hunters - they have a job and you need to stand out.

A good recruiter once told me someone accosted him at the urinal to see if he had gotten his resume. He said as long as you’re not doing that calling, emailing and whatever is fine

Just go straight to agency talent managers - saves them a recruiter’s fee, or someone in the agency who’ll get a “finder’s fee” if you’re kept on.

Recruiters screen you before the agency screens you. Better to get screened out by the people who you’ll work with, than some outsider.

Do you have someone in your office/group that you just loathe? They’ve only been on good projects with strong project teams since they’ve started. I’ve gone to them for help in the past via a partners suggestion but came to find out they’ve had their hand held the whole time. How do you get past feeling jealous and annoyed because you work your ass off and are supposedly a top performer but still get put on shit projects with no help? Is it really just time to walk? Been here for 4 years.

Most likely getting fired, tips on how to find a job ASAP?

It’s fixable and the client isn’t really getting hurt by this (worst case signing gets delayed), but my anxiety is telling me to prepare for the worst. Can I ask for extra time at the firm to find a new job (so I wasn’t “fired”)? Or should I go for severance?
