What was the question and answer?
He basically grilled me on what I wanted to get out of the program
Yeah you could make it. I just had a first round where I fucked up a technical, but the guy and I got along really well, so I made the second round.
You only messed up 1 technical?
I was only asked like three or four, so it was a big deal.
A lot of times, especially at an entry level, your answer to technical / deal experience questions is simply to check the box. What really matters is if your interviewers like you as a person. I always tell people that 80% of the time, your story will significantly outweigh answers on technical questions
Yea but the thing is he didn’t ask me any technicals. I just messed up on behaviorals
