Would avoid Moe Tech like a plague. Culture shift materially since SVB

 

Market is tough, but it is slightly concerning. Was there a clear lack of fit on your end with your recruiters? My best guess would be lack of fit, or poor response to "why us/this team" or "what is your motvation to go from corpdev and back to banking", assuming you know your technicals. 

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
 

Fit was addressed in early stages at all 3 -- ultimately got dinged for very different reasons at each 

MS was first and by far the most technical (super day was extremely technical) - went well beyond what you find in guides and focused on ish u just have to know. 
MOE was definitely on me - fully in my control. EVR i didnt bring it home. 

But not bummed, find it all interesting. have more spots lined up so we will keep grinding forward - definitely feel like wherever i interview next i shouldnt have any issues lol 

also had 10+ interviews at each
 

 

If fit was addressed early on, it could be the underlying reason. Not uncommon to go overly technical if they want a reason to ding. Get a friend or GPT to be the devil's advocate on your story and motivation before your upcoming interviews to sharpen it. Best of luck! 

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
