"defo"?
really?
I smiled, but didn't laugh.
Come on, really?
It's fine - bankers ask questions like that to screw with you all the time. I'd be curious to see what it was about the interview that made him ask a question like that. Either you showed severe signs of stress or thought you thought you were a hot shot and wanted to ask a "basic" question that would make you stumble.
Regardless, it's happened to the best of us. Know that a. you're not blackballed (he probably forgot your name the moment you walked out since to him, you're someone who's going to take away from his comp) and b. it won't affect your chances at other BBs.
You're a soph - this is a great learning experience for both the short and long-term. Now, get over it and prep for your next interview.
