I mean you'll find out soon but that was definitely a misstep saying you would work at a start-up. Piece of advice - you live, breathe and die IB in your IB interviews. Whether true or not, the most expensive mistake an IB can make is a bad hire because salaries and bonuses account for such a high proportion of an IB's expenses. They only want people who are 100% all-in, will work the hours, won't produce low-quality work, etc. Even when you nail your technical questions, they need to see qualitatively that you understand what you are getting into and want to do this.
I think it'll depend on the quality of the other candidates / how the IB perceives you but if you nailed your interview once you can do it again elsewhere. Chin up and keep grinding.
Thanks for the reply man. Would you say there's a big probability that I am rejected because of that.
No clue. Depends on too many variables. I also do not work in the UK so am unsure how the process is different. Wouldn't worry about it though - what's done is done and it's out of your control so on to the next. Keep grinding and lock up some other interviews. I would reach out to other firm's that you had R1's with and let them know you just did a SD with X and ask for an update. That usually pushes firm's to speed up their process / give you a SD too (depending on the firm) because they are all competing for top-tier talent.
