When is the right time to tell your supervisor (that you really like and respect) that you’re looking for another job? When you’re interviewing? After you have an offer?

I would wait until you have an offer. A good supervisor would be able to tell if you’re unhappy and looking for other jobs.

If there’s anything your supervisor can control that would make you stay, bring it up as an opportunity to enhance your career. If you say you’re looking, it sounds a bit threatening. Best not to go there without an offer in hand.

After. After. After. It feels so yucky to be lying to someone you respect, but doing so before you have an offer may affect your next position. Your supervisor will understand because he/she has been there before.

Depends on how close you are. If you confide in your sup often, tell him/her that you’re unhappy and have been for a while. They’ll know what you mean without you having to outright say it.

If you like him/her but don’t have that relationship, then don’t say anything

When you have a signed offer. Never ever before. Sounds like you don’t really want to leave

Not a single peep until you have an offer (or two!!) in hand

Don't say a word. What is there is a sudden layoff? It's easier to get rid of someone when they have a foot out the door.

Hi,

I am done with the multiple rounds of technical interviews in PWC AC and HR confirmed that the feedback is positive and they are working on next process.
Its been one week I haven't received any communication on that. When I called HR, she told that background check team will reach out to me over email or call in some days.

Can anyone suggest if I should hope for the offer letter in this case from PWC AC or not.
Also, what salary I should negotiate for Senior Associate.
