Risky how? If you want to leave and they are hiring that feels like a no brainer

like

I can't tell because I'm not sure what levels they're hiring for. (Senior managers; something I'm not qualified for?), or something at my level? Our firms reputation at this client is "all 10's across the board". Not sure what the thinks of me specifically, but I'm on one of the (or, the best) team here.

Have a coffee chat with the client.

Risky if my firm finds out. Can't reverse that secret once it's out. But I want to go industry and would love to seize the opportunity if I can

Only if you're sure you will get it. Have they offered before?

I am a Senior Manager of Software Engineering and lead architect at a small company (was a startup with < 10 employees when I joined, now has > 50). I am the most senior technical person in the company (we don't have a CTO, I report to the COO), even though I only have 4.5 YOE. By God's grace I have been able to succeed in the role, but feel that I am underpaid and would like your input.

Base: 122k, no equity

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
