Has anyone been poached by their client? I have a feeling it’s coming based on my last 1:1. How’d you play it?

Depends on whether you really want to exit to client. I had a client ask me to join their corporate development team after 3 months on a market study (3 YoE with 1 YoE with current company when pick came).

In my case I decided against it as the client was in a very specific niche (data centres), so I declined politely. If you are interested you can show some interest though I would advice against coming across as too keen, as they may use it as leverage for a lower role/package than you deserve.

Also wouldn’t hurt to let it slip to your boss/senior management. In my case after client shared it with my PM over a coffee chat senior management is now much more aware of me.

Appreciate your thoughts. I would be interested, but I’m not sure I’m ready to give up consulting yet. I’m up for promotion to Manager.

My client is great, the hours are great, I’d hate to jump to the other side and change it. Also don’t want to say no and impact the relationship.

Feels a lot like developing feelings for your best friend and trying to kiss them. Hahaha

No but I got poached from the client by one of the consulting firms
