If you’re just chatting with the recruiter, not much to prepare… Just be a genuine person, and try to learn more from the recruiter as well. Don’t take rejection too hard at this level. There’s so many factors at play, ranging from recruiter quality to how this company hires that may preclude a more junior person. Also line up more calls :). The recruiter themselves is probably playing a numbers game for the role. There’s a lot of opportunity out there. The other career switcher I knew hunted for some time before finding a role somewhere that explicitly mentored and grew people in an academy of sorts.
