Should I reply to HH?

Hi! Incoming An1 here at top BB (GS/JP). Several PE/HF HHs have contacted me via LinkedIn to schedule "informational calls". Given I've not even started my job yet and don't know if I will enjoy the work in IB, is it advisable to take these calls? Will I get in trouble with my bank if they find out I have talked to/connected with these HHs? What should I do to keep this lowkey?

Apologies if these are dumb questions - I'm quite new to this whole process.
