Is it bad etiquette to reach out on Linkedin to the hiring exec (the MP etc) to introduce myself after I had an intro call with a recruiter? Because it looks like I'm overreaching? Or might there be benefits to selling myself directly to the MP?

What’s the MP? The managing partner? That’s definitely too high up unless you think they’re likely to open to helping the scrappy or connecting with youth (like if they say anything about teaching Sunday School or sponsoring programs for underprivileged, etc).

I think it depends on who you’re engaging with. Some may perceive this differently, and some may not even notice.

I would go for it. Make sure it’s a knock out message before you send it.
