worked at a firm for two years, served a giant PE fund faithfully saving them a lot of money. really like to work there and see a pipeline of attorneys there who have similar credentials. i'm familiar with the head since she's seen what I've done. Don't know whether to email her directly or wtf i should do, whether there'd be pushback or anything

thinking about just mailing her my resume and including phone number. Too bold?

if you really want it, reach out to her. obviously, this could backfire at your current firm, but in house is hard to cop from a firm and you may need to take these risks to land your preferred place. just be prepared to be rejected, since most of these overtures are not successful.

I don't have any advice for you. If she's a contact, I would think maybe go take her out for lunch and feel her out as to whether you can go inhouse there. If you can't, you can still just expense the lunch and tell your boss that you're taking the initiative to get to know clients. Win-win.

My wife has only been in her current job for a few years though I will note that the hardest in-house job to get is the first one. That said, I went in-house just after ITE which was a VERY hard time to make the jump. I work with an awful lot of regular white males, so it obviously isn't impossible.

If there is a job listing and you apply, you can and should reach out to your contact and let them know how excited you are about the opportunity. In theory you could just reach out and say "hey, would love to work here" but i dont really see that working as they likely dont have budget and it looks kind of weird and desperate.

Emailing a resume is retarddd and autistic. Email her with a request to chat informally and learn more about her career arc. During the call flag interest in the company repeatedly and see what happens. Find subtle ways to flag your relevant expertise as she discusses her career growth and success at target company.

If she doesn’t bite, at the end of the call openly state you’d like to move to that company and ask her to keep you in mind. Ping every 6 weeks thereafter as a friendly check in.

You seem too dumb to be an autist, so I will continue to assume you are/treat you as flame. So, flamey, imagine you are the recipient. What actions would you be expected to take in response to a snail mail letter v an email and how likely would you be to take any of them.

I understand that you think an appeal to a boomer’s likely sense of self-importance and antiquated professional aesthetics is a smart move to get their attention, but ask yourself how likely it is that effort to appeal to those biases is really more important than making it as low effort as possible to do something helpful.

Disco Fries' approach would be my recommendation. Just don't go to Outback, or if you do, at least don't eat in the parking lot. Sorry, df, couldn't resist. Edit, being a boomer, albeit an old one, I prefer that people be direct about such things. If I didn't want to hire you, I would tell you. She may be under the impression you are happily on your way to big bucks partner and have no interest going in-house. Always be careful what you say in an email. They don't go away. I still do phone calls. In any event, I don't see any downside to asking.

Thank you friend, and yes I prefer phone calls too. Unsure whether the firm protocol would be NOT to email her under any circumstances unless she emails me, which is why I thought of letter.
