Hey,
I had an interview Thursday with an MBB, something odd occurred:
my first interviewer said I did well and ask me for my notes right after I was done
my second interview did not say anything, and specifically said he did not need my notes.
They said they will let me know if I will get an offer early next week.
Is it odd that an interviewer does not take your notes? Does it mean it is a ding?
Thanks!

Quit reading into everything, you will know if you have an offer early next week.
It doesn't mean anything
what I find odd is the fact the guy took your notes. I've never had my notes taken after interviews.
happened to me sometimes. they like to take your notes so it's harder for you to tell other interviewees about hte cases in case they want to use them on other candidates or in the future.
Never happened to me but did to some of my friends, biggles hit it on the head, they want to make it so you can't tell people the details.
McKinsey always takes your notes, as far as I know. Bain and BCG interviewers take them if they want their case to stay at least somewhat proprietary. They're not going to read them, they're just going to throw them away. Whether or not you did well on the case is decided before you leave the room; it's not like your interviewer is going to see that your notes are beautiful and change his/her mind.
I would guess that your other interviewer forgot if you were at McKinsey, or just didn't care if it was Bain or BCG. I definitely had my notes taken at McK but not Bain or BCG.
It probably depends on the office, but I think they usually take your notes.
