I received a message from corporate leader who is also one of my clients saying that they have an opening if I am interested....right now, I like my current job and not looking to leave but would still like to be considered for other opportunities within that organization in the future.
What is a proper response to their message?

Thank you for the verbiage.

I think you said it well. Let them know you like your current job and am not interested at this time. Follow it by thanking them for the opportunity while letting them know you would still like to be considered for any upcoming possibilities.

Keep the relationship alive but before responding consider the fact that it might be against your companies compliance for you or them to be having that conversation. Do that carefully.

make sure you keep in touch with that leader so when you want to make a move you have an in.

Agree with most. Thank them for the consideration, say you are not looking for a new role at the moment but mention that if you change your mind or if a role becomes available, that you will reach out to them in advance (make it actionable on your part for future consideration vs them coming back to you and risking the same response).

Thank you all.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
