It’s actually harder before becoming a partner. As a partner, recruiting mid-level leaders to my stuff became a lot easier because it came with a lot more clout than it did in my pre-partner days.

Mostly, I try to work on interesting things and I have cultivated a reputation as a good person to work with. That combination means that people often want to get involved in things I’m doing and it’s a matter of finding the right fits & scaling.

Sell work, create backlog, hire staff to fill… rinse repeat. Promote through the ranks instead of hiring top-down. It’s always easier to hire when you’re growing the business. It’s usually safer bets to hire at junior levels and build talent. Most lateral moves I see at senior levels struggle to make an impact quickly and either wash out or take so long they’re passed by those high potential junior folks you brought in.

I am on H1B. Worked in TCS for 11 yrs (7 yrs onsite).
During great resignation I made my first switch. I was all set to join Infosys then got PwC offer letter 2 days before my LWD in TCS. Had to join Infy as H1 transfer was done.
Now leaving Infosys in 4 months and joining PwC after H1 transfer. It was a tough call but finally I decided to join Big 4.
Again already gave notice to Infosys, all set to join PwC and now Amazon is approaching me for a Oracle apps functional consultant role. Advise ?

I’ve done a few searches but feel free to rip me a new one if this has been asked before:

Is it worth reaching out via LinkedIn or am I just going to appear a bit desperate?
