Current employer noticing your job hunt?

Dec 2, 2018 15 Comments

Share experiences with HR or manager noticing when you go into job hunting mode on LinkedIn and other job sites?

I'm going to change my status to "open to opportunities" but I'm concerned about my current managers noting this and it causing problems for me.

    My director viewed my LinkedIn profile 2 days after I changed my status to be open to opportunities, and proceeded to hit me with a huge bonus and performance incentive to make me stay

      Totally agree with this. This is SWE after all. Ppl jump ships all the time. Some time in the future those managers would also be looking to jump ships. Hypocrites.

  • LinkedIn says the status will not be viewed by your own company, seems not that accurate

    Company that were planning to layoff will lay you off regardless of you looking or not.

    Doesn't matter.

    My manager heard about it. Did nothing. Company downsized soon after.
