I was approached for a potential job by a recruiter. In the informational meeting they mentioned that the hiring manager and I are connected. I decided to reach to this person expressing interest and letting them know a recruiter would be submitting my resume. Per the recruiter that may not look well, for me personally I would like to know if any candidate is particularly interested. Is it right or wrong to reach out?

That's a hard one to judge. Is the recruiter giving you good advice based on what they know or are they simply trying to manage the entire situation and don't want you going around them? That's what I would be wondering.

I get the sense that it’s the latter

I’d say just wait — in case this job doesn’t work out the recruiter might have other things you can apply for and you don’t want to piss her / him off

Ooops I misread that!
