I’m in the process of interviewing for an HR consulting role that seems to be more of an outsourcing role..

Is this already a red flag or could it potentially be an opportunity for growth?
What clarifying questions should I ask?

(I’m a new consultant, trying to break into the field)

My total YoE is 14 years. I know pretty long stay in TCS. I am happy with the work though I am not a project lead or in some manager position. Got onsite opportunity almost 7 years in support project. But some time seeing my x-teammates who have changed many companies and now in better position, feeling like I would have moved out instead of sticking to 1 company. Now decided I have to come out from this comfort zone. I know it is possible but worried a bit with my exp. I need you guys advice..Plz
