Mayank G.CoachYes, as long as the request is natural and the first conversation went well. Consultants often have colleagues in other offices, but you should make the introduction easy to decline.
What should I do if a coffee chat ends after only ten minutes?

I scheduled a 20-minute coffee chat, but the conversation wrapped up naturally after about ten minutes. Should I have tried to keep it going, or is a short conversation fine if I got the information I needed?

Mayank G.CoachA ten-minute coffee chat can be completely fine if the conversation reached a natural stopping point. You do not need to fill the scheduled time for the sake of it.
