...a recruiter I actually know reaches out to me cold, out of blue, asks if I’d be interested in initially exploring...yes...this very same job I’d spent the last 6 months “exploring” and allegedly “winning”. Meaning, they’d engaged a new recruiter and were basically starting over while trying to keep me on the hook as the “top/leading” candidate by saying a decision would be very soon. Maybe tell recruiters who you’ve spoken to/interviewed first?? I don’t think i was entitled to this job or anything, but this felt kinda amateur hour if you ask me.

Recruiters tell dozens and dozens of people they are in the top 5. It makes you feel like you want to keep working with this person because their “inside info” = access. It’s all baloney. Never trust anything a recruiter says until you actually get an offer.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?
