Guidance on speaking to HH in London - How specific?

When speaking to HH in London, do you have to be laser focused about what you want to do i.e. I want to be a generalist at a UK focused fund working across multiple sectors around 1-5bn AUM

Or can you be like I think I'd like to work for a top PE sector specialist or a PE fund doing secondaries as I think both are interesting and have a lot of runway in terms of industry growth.

Want to make sure I don't make the wrong impression, Thanks!
