So I recently had a superday where the associates asked me a couple technicals which I got and just had conversation about firm etc.
When I got to the VP, after walking through resume, 10 min through, he says "impressive resume you got there" and then he starts talking about why their firm is good, is there anything I want to know etc...
When I get to MD, he says you're an intelligent guy and will be getting multiple offers from banks, how are you gonna choose, then starts selling also
THEY DIDN'T EVEN question me? And today I get rejected... I don't understand at all what I could have done differently.
oh they might have finally found the spelling mistake on my resume maybe?
similar thing happened to me before, too. quite frankly, sometimes the people you are interviewing with are insane.
Maybe you didn't seem interested enough or maybe you seemed too interested...
The same thing happen to me, although I was presented with an offer...
What bank?
Same thing happened to me.
Bottom line: They are talking shit as a matter of courtesy and would no doubt say that stuff to everyone in final round because you need to be pretty special to get there in the first place.
Keep your head up though. You did well getting that far.
Not sure what I could've done in your situation.. I had similar experiences when the interviewer is either overly positive (and I'm all giddy and shit walking out of the room), or overly negative... neither have correlation with the actual result.
I think at a certain point when they were selling to you... it was an open fo you to sell yourself back.
When the MD said you'd be getting multiple offers (remember that it's really difficult to get multiple offers from big banks in this market, so thats why it sounds like a test)... I think maybe it was an opportunity to smile but politely disagree-- humble yourself and sell...
Again, I could be wrong. Maybe they were insane.
Or perhaps you were just unlucky. It happens.
Sorry to hear that, It happens now and then though. Stay strong and keep at it man!
They might of just decided to give the offer to someone they thought would accept it. From the way you described the interview process everyone probably looked at your resume, said to themselves "this kid of out of our league" and just went with someone else.
