>We did the report and that whole aspect got swept under the carpet and I was never asked back to that clients site ever again.

You should have pushed for the opposite, doing the ocassional pentest to the client for life, in exchange for being mum about it.

Here’s a contra view.

If you had a back bone as a consultant your period 2 report would start with “unresolved issues from last time”, so you would very quickly have to resign due to your ethical baseline not being met. Therefore same outcome.

Huh? Your job is to point to issues, not to ensure they're resolved.
