Continuation from post last week. Decided I'm going to contact D partner I know from my project and ask if S&O is hiring. Suggestions for making first outreach? Cold call? Email from personal email?

How well does he know you and what you do

You need to have an Usp- most projects have strict anti poaching rules

Not well but he knows who I am and attends the weekly status call for the project I'm leading. He knows we're selling more work at my client because of my project. I've met him in person maybe 4 times.

You need to define a brand that D wants

For example on my previous projects- there were some niche utility specific skills another competitor had, something which D would consider "hot skills"

You need to build a story of what you bring to the table. You've only met this guy 4 times. It's going to be a tough sell even if he knows your name and thinks you do a good job.

Also you need to consider the poaching rules. Most projects with multiple firms have an unspoken noncompete. As much as we want our clients to believe that we're at the frontier of though leadership/market changes/etc. Firms are generally very very conservative.

How long are you on this project for? Can you wait it out? Build up your rapport with him during that time then jump afterwards ?

If you are qualified just find a recruiter... firms are always hiring and if your resume gets through then maybe approach him

Unlikely to build personal report in short time left... project should be wrapping up within a month. I might reach out to a recruiter instead actually thanks A1.

I don't know how some people do things that to me seem so risky. Maybe I'm just way too conservative.

A friend and spouse recently purchased a home twice the price of ours and took additional amount of loan on top "for paying off other debt." They make less than half what we make and owe three times as much in other stuff (car loans, cc, irs, etc). I'd be so stressed and likely wouldn't have taken such a loan (5.8%) for an even smaller home than ours. Just thinking about it stresses me out tbh.
