Depends who else is interviewing. All things being equal, if someone else only messed up on one, then they're more likely to get the role. Messing up isn't the end of the world, but it really comes down to the competition.

Don’t know for sure but here’s my data point.

Bank 1:

Slightly messed up one tech in a first round then got a Superday. Fumbled through one brain teaser in the Superday but got an offer. Talked to a decent amount of people in the firm and felt I was generally well liked.

PE Firm:

Fumbled through 1 or 2 techs in the first round. Didn’t get an offer or Superday. Only talked to 1-2 people and probably didn’t have anyone pulling for me

Bro tbh you shouldn't really be missing technicals. They're pretty much a check in the box kinda thing. Sure, people slip up and make careless mistakes and still get through if they're lucky, but I would focus on brushing up on your technicals again and worry only about what you can control moving forward. No point in stressing now

Depends, sometimes if you say I’m not sure but here’s how I am approaching it….is better than a fuck up. A fuck up is getting totally mixed up in numbers and things not making sense

Two missed techs would have been pretty much mean I would not recommend your candidacy to move forward when the feedback is compiled, unless those techs were difficult and designed to be tricky. Too many kids know their techs cold and are likeable. 

I wouldn’t pass someone along who missed 2/5 technicals because there are people who will get all 5 who are also good candidates beyond that. Not saying this to down you, more to motivate you. Technicals should be easy sans actual merger questions, stuff w deferred taxes, what have you…I don’t ask those though so I’m expecting everything to be correct.

All of them.
