谋取 carries
谋's 'plan/scheme' flavor - the object is usually pursued through deliberate effort, sometimes shady. Common collocations:
谋取私利 (seek personal gain),
谋取暴利 (seek windfall profit),
谋取职位 (seek a position). Compare neutral
取得 (achieve) and the homophone
牟取, a near-synonym used almost exclusively in negative contexts (illicit gain).
