Hindsight is 20/20. But perhaps one of the most beautiful things about that fact is that it doesn’t even have to be your own hindsight. Asking this question in an informational interview will give you the words of wisdom from someone’s hard-earned experience as well as the predictions they might have for where the field or industry is headed. It’s also a better question than some of the alternatives because you’ll leave with actionable insights. By contrast, if you ask someone: “Would you do it all again today? Would you make the same decision to go into this profession?”, they’re probably just going to say “Yup!” Because who wants to admit to an acquaintance that they regret one of the bigger life decisions they’ve made?
