Was staffed at Facebook for > 1 year and found a position in an org I worked with frequently. I had a good relationship with one of the clients but I’m hesitant to reach out for a referral as I don’t want it to jeopardize my current job. Thoughts? Should I look for someone else to refer me?

Get some guidance from the client, including some feelers and buy in for your candidacy, especially if you have good rapport and have experience in the org.

Get some advice from a client you trust. Ideally you could find another employee who joined after working as a consultant for a while so you can see how they did it.

Check your own company policy too. Interviewing for a job with your current client could be seen as a conflict of interest and/or independence risk. If you don't understand your company's written policies, make a fake email account somewhere and email HR or independence team.

Dude! Are you kidding me now!? If you have a good relationship with them, tell them that you are interested. Any professional adult knows that they shouldn't grab the phone and tattle on you to your manager! Duahhh. You can tell them to keep it private. I would totally do it. Go and take me with you in return of my piece of advice.

I have also recently finished my Masters in HR Management, so I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has any tips for landing a new role?

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
