I just did a HireVue for a SA 24 position. I was watching porn before to clear my head. I like to watch on the tv because of the loud speakers. Long story short the porn is playing on mute in the reflection in the background of my HireVue. I networked heavily with this bank and I am afraid of what is to come…. Any advice? Anyone been in this position before? Pls help.

Is this a joke?
gotta be a troll bruh
Don’t worry I’m sure some dude will jack off to your hirevue and jizz on your face when they’re reviewing it. One for one I guess
That’s what I’m hoping for … if this works it will be my new strategy.
What
Happens to the best of us
Can anyone comment on some funny hirevues you've seen?
Based. Have you thought about putting plane crash documentaries in the background for the next Hirevue to see what works better?
Looks like you'll be getting a different kind of 'hard' interview feedback!
i see what you did here
This level of trolling.....
how prestigious was the porno?
It was some pretty niche stuff man…
Wut type?
tbh that's probably for the better since they'll recognize you're a man of culture, just like the bank
Depends on the porn tbh. Had a similar situation with an intern for this summer but his taste was good
Maybe I’ll just joke about it at the SD (that I haven’t been invited too)
Was this with CNN? If so no problem
It was with JPM
Not JP Licks?
lmao just withdraw your application
Never Happenend.
Dude ur a genius
WTF is hirevue?
Are you retarded
Why the hell would I know what it is if I have zero need for what ever the hell this is? Do you know what a second level CDS derivative swap is? No? Are you retarded? When did this site become filled with social morons?
Hey man,
I was in the same boat as you last year. I ended up making it to the super day and my interviewer brought it up. I think the reason why he brought it up was to test how I responded to awkward situations. For example: what do you say when you meet a client and your fly is down while going commando? It's an awkward situation, but you have an opportunity to address the problem at hand and move forward.
My response to the interviewer's question was that I intentionally left porn playing in the background to create an awkward situation and that I'm not afraid to face the most difficult or embarrassing questions.
I ended up getting the job and have happily been a Stratton Oakmont employee for over a year.
Learn to roll with it. Here's a mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive breakdown of what's going to happen now. Envision this as a tree diagram
1) They care about the porn
i. They ding you immediately because of it, no questions asked: This is the most likely situation. Accept it and move on. Just another rejection out of many
ii. They move you onto the next stage because your application was good (other than the porn): Prepare to face lots of questions about the porn in the interview. Learn to explain you way out of difficult situations. Important skill to have - imagine DJSol explaining his way out of Marcus
iii. They blacklist you: Big L but what can you do
iv. They blacklist you and let other firms know about you: Highly unlikely possibility but still ...
2) They dgaf about the porn
i. They ding you because your application wasn't good enough anyway
ii. They move you to the next stage because your application was good
