I'd recommend going for a couple of reasons. First, you might have your mind changed. Second, you could make a worthwhile connection for down the road. Last, if nothing else, it's practice.

Agree with ACD1. You must have been at least a little curious if you decided to send the agency your book, right?

Even if the first contact was a recruiter, if they want to see me face to face, I always take the meeting. I’ve met a lot of great people that way. And from a hiring standpoint, I’ve recommended people to other agencies if I liked their work but they weren’t a good fit for me. Always go

McKinsey & Company Has Mckinsey met BA headcount quota for the year/did they freeze hiring?

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
