Question ya'll....last year I had a case at work escalated to me because someone wasn't taking care of what the company deemed a VIP client.
I spoke with him rectify his situation and he said I should consider working for his company. We exchanged contact info and spoke briefly over the phone but nothing seemed to come from it. His schedule seemed like it just wouldn't open up.
Fast forward a year later and he hits me up on LinkedIn trying to arrange a coffee sitdown for next week.
Anyone been in this position before? What should I expect? Is it possible he just wants to meet up and talk about Basketball or could there be an opportunity here?
Wonder why he waited? Always remember people are human but you should get some info on his 'company'. I've seen enough business owners to know a good percentage are shit and get by because the business generates enough. It's a Trump situation. Enough resources to survive but a true evaluation shows they could have done much better if they were competent.
If the company is run well, makes money, has great references, etc, why not? It's just coffee.
FYI, a lot of raises happen because you move to a new job. Unless your job is increasing your wages, data shows you have to leave to get a boost. I say, go for it.
A lot of people get jobs based off 'different' circumstances. For you, it was going above and beyond for a client. And if you haven't interacted with him officially, in awhile, you have some cover.
