[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the responses. Sounds like most people agree that this should not have happened, but now what?

Do I need to say anything to my current bosses or just see how it plays out?

What is your relationship like with your current bosses? It sounds like the interviewer who reached out knew them personally, and did it as a friend and not in a very professional capacity. In that case, anything you say could hurt you. For example, if you tell your boss "oh I'm not really looking to leave, just seeing what the market is like" your boss could pass on that you aren't very interested in the friend's company.... I might say something like, "I have been considering leaving, for XYZ reason, but would be happy to find a solution that allows me to stay here." For example, if you're leaving because you know your underpaid for your field but otherwise like your job, maybe you can work out a raise. If commute is an issue, maybe you can telework a day or two per week. Then, you open the door to improving your current situation and staying put, without saying anything that would hurt your chances at the other company. [/quote]
