Okay, so I reached out to two headhunters from the same firm and same city by mistake. They both answered, asked to send my CV and one even mentioned a certain position she has. I know it was dumb to contact both of them in the first place, but what should I do now?

Don’t really feel like they care that much, go with the one with the position and tell the other you’re working with Ashleigh (statistically the most likely HH name based on my experience)

Not being a pussy here but isn't it better to ghost one of them? She'll probably forget about me.

Yeah they don’t care. My exact response would be to cc both in an email and say “Hi X and Y, I realized i reached out to both of you by accident so let me know who is best coordinate with here for our intro chat”

I am a Manager at a big 4 international tax considering switch to M&A Tax in another big 4 or a prestigious firm International Tax group but with more structure work. Which one is better for a long-term plan (~2 years) of going to private with a mid/upper management position that is not compliance oriented? As for me, I was heavy on compliance until recent and wanted to focus on getting planning experience and management skills forward. I am a CPA and an attorney, but not a JD.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
