What to ask in a call with a MD

So I want to get into FI s&t, and I have a phone call set up tomorrow with a MD FI trader. I’m also making a networking trip to nyc in a month and would like to meet him. What are some good question I can ask him in the call and should I ask him to meet for coffee while I’m there, or do I ask if he would like to meet in my follow up thank you email to him?

“I had a very insightful LinkedIn profile review session with Julian. He carefully reviewed each section and provided practical feedback on making my profile more polished, minimal, and professionally focused. One of my biggest takeaways was understanding how too much information can create unnecessary noise and distract from my key strengths. Beyond the profile review, we also had valuable discussions about my career goals, networking, and professional positioning in finance. I truly appreciated his attention to detail, thoughtful guidance, and constructive feedback. I would definitely look forward to working with him again in the future.”

“I was happy with how specific Rayshad helped to make my resume, it's now much more clear, to the point, concise and clean to look at. However, I feel like a lot of information was taken off but I trust Rayshad and his approach. It was a smooth process where Rayshad and I went back and forth talking about the changes to be made, the difficulties I faced and throughout the process Rayshad replied promptly and helped make my resume much better. Sometimes I feel a bit nervous about my resume so would prefer other mentors to double check too. ”
