Experienced hire cold email

For someone who has been working in the industry for a couple years and looking to jump firms/buyside ASAP, would the best angle for cold emailing be asking for advice (about the industry/how they broke in/etc) or being more direct (stating experience and how that would be a fit and if there are any opportunities)? I assume since you are experienced most people would know why you are contacting them (for leads on a job)
