Is this a big f*** up?

I had an online screening interview (~15 mins) with a boutique IB firm in Canada and the interviewer asked me what I think the weekly time commitments are to the job and for some f**ki*g reason I said 50-60 hours and he instantly corrected me with 80-100. I didn’t have any reaction to it (ie scared / flinched) though. Is this a big deal or am i overthinking?

Knowing these canadian hardo ppl at boutiques they may ding for that, especially if its mining

 

Who cares , bro sounds like a loser and if he’s already shoving 80-100 down your mouth it’s probably going to be even more realistically , and with bad culture

Also it’s canada so

 

Was thinking the same… they had this super retarded assessment that was like an iq test with a reading comprehension session like the sat. Stupid ass firm
