A recruiter at an account that i'm working on recently reached out to me about their in-house opportunity. My day-to-day client and a few others from that account have been visiting my LinkedIn page several days prior to their recruiter messaging me. Is it okay to reach out to my client directly to ask about that opportunity? Maybe ask about how I could prep for the interview? Im not sure if that client was involved in any of this or not.

Let the recruiter do their thing, but you also have the advantage of inside knowledge of what they might want to hear so just leverage all your advantages and get a good deal of you want to work there.

I've also never done a star interview so I have a lot of work to do there

Just a heads up - you might need to sneakily make sure there aren’t rules about clients poaching talent from the agency. If you can get your hands on the MSA you have with that account it should include that.

I did not think of that. Thank you!
