I’ve been with my current agency for a few years and things are fine, but I’m starting to feel a bit stuck. It isn't that I'm unhappy, but I don't feel challenged anymore. I’m not actively applying, but I’d move for the right opportunity. Is it risky to turn on the open to work feature on LinkedIn if I’m not in a rush to leave?

I don't think it really matters. People always worry that coworkers will notice it and start some drama over it, so that's a concern. If you're not really serious about leaving it may not make sense. And to be honest, I've always doubted that the feature accomplishes much.

If you're that worried about it, I would skip the badge and just update your profile and activity. Recruiters will still find you.

Don't put that badge up. Please. If you're open to new opportunities, you can select an option that alerts recruiters without putting some stupid frame on your profile pic. You don't want your boss seeing that next time they log in to LinkedIn.

Definitely do NOT put that badge up!! Many opportunities for it to backfire, including a recruiter from your agency looking for new hires and ... oops, you match. Additionally, all it does is get you spammed with irrelevant job offers and every recruiter under the sun.

Look up " [company name you're interested in] recruiter" on linked in and connect/message directly with recruiters/talent acquisition from those companies. That's where you want to go. Connect, get them your resume, let them see if you fit anywhere now or when something new opens.

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?
