Interview fail

Hey guys,

I recently had an interview at a MM boutique. Actually I should have had three interview rounds. After the second round they told me that the third interviewer is busy. As the first two rounds were longer than expected they told me that I won't have another round and I will get an answer ASAP.

The interview was quite hard but I think I managed it quite well.

Is that a bad sign or does a situation like this happen sometimes?

Best regards

It happened to me and I got the job. Live deals take precedent over interviews, so it's entirely possible that the third interviewer couldn't pull himself away from his desk. Sounds like you'll find out soon enough either way - good luck!

Thanks, let me know if you ever need an introduction in the industry.

Like the unadjusted- only with a little bit extra.
