Anyone have experience getting an offer from a client? I’m really enjoying the work I’m doing at a top 50 Fortune 500 company, I also like their culture and benefits. Plus the client I’m working with enjoys me and my work.

Is there a way I can bring it up to the client? Or hint at wanting to be poached by them? Or is it just 100% wait to be asked by the client?

I’ve had good success with straight-up asking if they need someone to fill a role(s) once our work is done. I asked towards the middle/end of the engagement; you’ll probably have better luck asking near the end. Keep in mind that it may take some time for them to create a job for you; there’s lots of internal bureaucratic hoops a job req likely has to go through.

Doing this is how I got my current industry role and exited consulting

Yeah it has happened was on a long term staff aug assignment , they wanted to hire me. The CIO told me if I was interested but I wanted to do more consulting work, hence politely declined. Totally depends on the trust and relationship you have with a specific stakeholder, be good to have an offline catch up and share your aspirations
