As the title says, I had a phone conversation with an MD in a BB who was taking notes, but was very snappy. I would say something that wasn't exactly the way he liked to hear it, and he would correct me brusquely. Obviously I took it in stride, but how negatively would this conversation impact my recruitment prospects? I've heard a poor impression on an MD could easily write off your chances of breaking in.

Don't overthink it. It can happen, if you don't make it now then you will have other chances
Ah to be young.
If the MD was wearing a grey suit that day - i'd say you have a near 0% chance of ever working in Finance. HOWEVER, If the MD was wearing a blue or checkered suit (any color), the odds are much more in your favor. I'd say, about a 4-6% chance.
That being said, there's a few additional elements that tie into such a complex equation. Such as, what direction were the trade winds blowing that day? Is it a leap year? Did El Nino occur? Where is the world is Carmen San Diego?
