Think I've screwed up my chances and would be interested in peoples opinions.
I had an assessment day for a TMT focused M&A boutique yesterday in London. I passed the first round and went onto the second round with someone senior. He grilled me hard on my motivations and I gave pretty solid answers, as well as answering some technicals and gave a very strong answer for 'why us'. We spoke about a few tech deals and what I thought of them and I thought I gave pretty solid answers. He then asked me to name a European tech company that they hadn't worked with - my mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything and he said "it's fine we can move on" and asked something else.
HR said we'd hear by Tuesday/Wednesday (HR don't work Mondays) and it's killing me thinking about it. How badly have my chances have been affected from securing an offer?
That really doesn't sound like a big deal. Try to relax and distract yourself from the waiting as difficult as that may be. I hope you get it.
Same thoughts as Volcanic... if you have already rattled on a few deals that they have worked on, you already have demonstrated your interest in the firm.
Also, your motivation/technicals answers A LOT more important.
I've never been asked 'what company haven't we worked with?' It sounds like your interviewer wasn't able to stump you with the traditional questions, and improvised a question on the fly. Once he realized it was a dumb question, he moved on. This won't ding you.
