Am I toast?

Had a first round on-campus interview with Bear yesterday. I thought it went pretty well (got along with the interviewer and it went 5-10 minutes over), but messed up a question and a half at the end of the interview (math/probability). Haven't heard anything back yet.

What was the question...just curious. And I would say that you should still be fine. Unless you mess up, "Why Banking" or "Why this firm", there aren't many questions that will lead to an auto-ding.

 

My friend who get an offer from a BB heard 4 days after the interview.

I wouldn't get too worried. I received an offer with Bear and got it TEN(!) days after my interview. Now, I am a non-target, so maybe they just didn't care about being prompt, but point is, don't get too stressed yet.
