Was just wondering if there is a cut-off point for this?
Recently had an interview and messed up 2-3 questions (accounting, leverage and EV calculation), but the other 20+ minutes of technicals answers was solid from my side.
Do good behavioural answers also make up for mistakes in the technicals?

It just depends on if the interviewer likes you or not, worry about making a connection in the interview, and not putting so much stress on yourself in answering the technical.
You’re inevitably bound to miss at least 1 technical question, just worry about the connection and interview fluency.
I missed 1-2 through my process of 5 rounds, and made it through!
Good luck buddy
