Ratting Recruiter

Is it common practice in the industry or am I unfortunate enough to coffee chat with wrong, deceitful person?

I commenced off-cycle position at MM bank 2 weeks ago. Since return offers are not guaranteed, I kept networking with other banks (UK). I did not neglect my deliverables though. One asso from BB bank turned out to be a good friend of asso I work directly with. She ratted to her friend about the coffee chat. The implications of this obnoxious attitude are obvious. 

To preempt, I was networking to have other options, if I don't get conversion offer at MM

It’s a fine line to tread and, unfortunately, people like this do exist to try and get “one up” in any way they can.

It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing to have coffee chats, I’d just keep my cards closer to my chest next time.

Any time I have thought about leaving a role, I tell people at the last moment (other than those i’m really close with), when I’m about to leave.

 

Still up to the assoc at ur bank whether he says anything. Personally if I heard about something like this, I wouldn't say shit even if a friend told me. Doesn't really matter, no skin off my back. Anyone who does is a weird bootlicker.
