I have graduated from MBA and works in finance now. However, I am unsatisfied about the current job and would like to explore a career in consulting as an option. The articles about networking are usually about people who are already applying for consulting firms. As I am still exploring the consultant career path, I'd like to seek your advice:
I am planning to reach out to alumni and also non-alumni, and also talk to senior managers focusing on financial industry consulting. However, the intention is to discuss more about career transitions, their experience in consulting, and figure out whether consulting is for me. Would these people working in consulting feel that I am wasting their time since I am not even sure whether I would want to work in consulting? Is it okay to state in front that I would like to talk to them in order to better understand whether consulting is for me? What kind of question is recommended to discuss in this kind of scenario?
Appreciate your advice.
