Are t consultants always open to the possibility of “the next thing”? I don’t think it is a bad thing. Biggest tell tale sign is “would you be a reference for me?"

funny

Yes. When I hear them talking to recruiters in the team room and / or surf LinkedIn jobs without a privacy screen

I can smell it

Yes - at least more than 3 times out of 4

I can only tell 50% of the time. If you want to leave just be honest and do it gracefully. It’s a small world and you may want to work with me again or need a favor some day

the grace. Take the money and leave. When the ship sinks no one will be graceful when they r cutting employees so don’t kid yurself.

Ey- that may be true in your specific situation but generally that is bad advice.

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.

What are your initial thoughts?
