Did not click with MD at bank. Any reprecussions?
This might be the post-recruiting stress speaking but...
Recently signed with a mid-tier US BB for summer 2021. I was able to secure a phone call with an MD that recently lateraled to the firm after signing, but did not feel like we clicked at all. Throughout the call, he was very monotone and I tried to respond with a bit more enthusiasm in my voice, which might've come off the wrong way. By the end of the call the tone of his voice definitely changed, and he was more curt with his answers. Nevertheless, I don't think he'd be too enthusiastic in keeping in touch with me...
Now I'm afraid that I have someone that dislikes me at the firm before I even start my internship. I'm hoping that passing time will diminish whatever disdain he might have for me, but first impressions are often the most memorable. I definitely did not leave a memorable impression, and got the impression at the end that I was wasting his time.
Will this hurt my future internship experience at the firm? Don't think I'll be reaching back out to him again anytime soon but I'm too early into my career to have someone as senior as him against me.
Next summer is a long time away. Don't sweat it
He'll probably forget about this interaction he has way better things to worry about
He probably never knew your name. Don’t sweat it
Chances are he 1) was stressed as hell about something else — a client, a deal, family issue, his seamless order — and needed to pivot back and 2) won’t remember your name or the convo by next week.
Hope so. Just disappointed in myself since I was referred to him by an analyst, and screwing something like this up not only looks bad on my end, but possibly the analyst’s end too.
