Members-only community

Real talk about the work, with people who get it.

Ask about pay and house fees, check whether an offer sounds right, and swap tips on working for yourself. Under a nickname, in a space employers can’t see, moderated by the Discreet Careers team.

Three spaces to start with

Each discussion lives in one space, so you can follow what matters to you and mute what doesn’t.

  • Starting out and finding work

    New to the industry or changing roles: getting started, choosing where to work and spotting good and bad offers.

  • Pay and working life

    Pay, fees, hours, boundaries and the day-to-day of the work.

  • Independent business support

    Working for yourself: tax, admin, marketing, safety and running your own business.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose a nickname

    Pick a name just for the community. Your real name and recruitment profile are never shown.

  2. 2

    Ask and answer

    Start a discussion, reply, mark answers as helpful and follow topics that matter to you.

  3. 3

    Moderated by our team

    New members' first posts and every picture are checked before others see them. Report anything that worries you.

Your privacy here

We built the community to be as private as a forum can be. It is pseudonymous rather than completely anonymous, and we want you to know exactly what that means before you join.

Read the community rules

  • Pseudonymous, not anonymous

    Other members see only your community nickname, the optional picture and bio you choose, and the month you joined. They never see your name, email, phone, CV, applications, documents or recruitment profile.

  • Kept separate from your job search

    Employers cannot use the community, and nothing in it links your nickname to the applications you make. Your recruitment photos and name are never reused here.

  • Who can find out who you are

    Your nickname is linked to your account behind the scenes. Only a small number of Discreet Careers staff can look that link up, only for a serious reason such as a safety concern or a legal request, and every look-up is recorded.

  • What you write can be seen by members

    Discussions are visible to every signed-in member, and anyone could pass on what they read. Avoid details that would identify you to someone who knows you.
