Client wants to poach me but most likely won't take it. Any way to leverage this for compensation? No offer letter obviously since I won't take it further

Curious-why don't you want the client job?

Not ready to leave the city I'm in - my social circle and family are in the area. Also, not ready to get into industry yet - maybe a few years down the line

If you don't have it in writing it's worth nothing. And you need to be careful that your bluff isn't called. If they tell you to go and you don't then you get labeled as someone looking to leave.

Looks like I'll play the game and get an offer letter. Will have to set expectations that I'm on the fence and may not take it even if offered officially on paper.
