I recently had a final round interview for an IB SA position. During the interview, one of my interviewers said his name was "George". However, his first name in his email address was "John" (email format for the company was: [email protected]). The name on his LinkedIn account also used the name "George".
In the thank you email that I sent to this individual, I referred to him as 'John" instead of "George".
Will I be dinged for something like this?
