Definitely didn't come across as a jerk. Sorry if that's how it came across. Just trying to help you avoid the pitfalls of working with a different industry. A lot of it is knowing what you want, how to communicate it, and manage expectations.
Just like if you met with a financial adviser and said, "I want to make money!" They'd need to know how much you had, how old you were, how much you know, how much risk you're willing to take, etc.
