Recently had superday and momentarily blanked out for like 3 seconds about something on my resume during one of the interviews but quickly gathered myself again. I think it was just the nervousness, plus it was like my 4th interview, so I was honestly just really tired and exhausted by the end. Is that by itself enough for bankers to ding a candidate? Thanks

Anything can ding you tbh. Depends on how the others did.
Thank you
Np bro. But yea, Ive gotten offers where I messed up some stuff, and got rejected on others where I messed up something minor. GL
Not at a superday, but I got invited to the superday even after missing on a really easily technical.
Interesting. Mind sharing which firm?
one of Citi/CS/BofA. And to give an idea of my background, not from a target either so not like I had Harvard as my education that they excused it.
How easy of a technical? Mind sharing? I'm curious.
On technicals - low threshold for answers unless it's something seriously basic. All about the thought process and if you can work through it with guidance.
On resume - if you can't talk about something you have on there very well that's a ding. It comes across as not knowing your involvement or just spacey.
Learn from it and have items on your resume down so cold that you've already rehearsed the answer to any possible questions 100 times. Next time you'll be better, don't take it too hard.

If you are fine on those three items and are an easy individual to get along with, you will be fine.
