What is the protocol with talking with recruiters? I'm not pre se looking to move right now but if something with more money and flexibility regarding location opens up then I'm not opposed.

Is it wrong to talk to them about possible opportunities?

Always good to develop relationships and make contacts for later use. They understand the industry and will tailor their expectations/frequency of communication based on where you’re at in the search. And if not, it’s likely not someone you want to work with anyways.

No. I did this. And eventually moved. Nothing wrong with it.

Yeah casually talk to recruiters until you find one you like to feed you opportunities so you can move when the time is right

Just be upfront with us about your level of interest. I always chat with semi interested candidates that just want to see what the market is like. It's fine to inquire. What upsets us is when someone makes us market them and do a ton of work and then not take the process seriously.

Passive candidates can be active candidates really quickly. I was one when I practiced and eventually moved when the right job opened.

I’m trying to get out ASAP b/c he also has a history of firing clerks without cause or notice, but I think I’ll only be able to give two weeks notice if i get the job I’m interviewing for. Thoughts?

I have another offer and deliberating if i should just accept that.

I’m working at a small firm that is more like a one-stop shop. We’ve had instances where a client of ours have asked for a deliverable that is outside of our expertise and that we need specialists for. However, the relationship partner (is that what they’re called) for some reason wants everything to go through them rather than having the specialists directly engage with the client. Is there some legal/ethical reason for this? Or is this just an act to protect their turf?
