I worked on a client for about year. We got to know each other.

I wanted to do corp dev and I messaged him (not through company email) and we discussed his job, what it was like.

We were actually moving forward on something but I accepted a position elsewhere.

I would just look at them as a networking resource instead of 1st thing just asking for a job if that makes sense.

I would also tread very lightly - they’re your firm’s client first. But I think having a personal/mentor relationship is okay.
