I have an MBB round 0/phone screen for a sales director role. Would rather be in consulting. What’s the best way to use this call to parlay into a consulting role?

You probably parlay it by taking the job if offered and then build relationships in the practice you’re aligned to and see if some senior partners end up liking you enough to recommend your switch to consulting. Otherwise just apply for consulting roles. Don’t see how this phone call will really be a direct opportunity to get in

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.
