Am I fucked?
So I chose to do some super early networking with some buyside shops that run summer analyst programs since they tend to recruit earliest. In a coffee chat with a guy at Vista I referred to Robert Smith as Robert Zane by accident.
Should I even bother targeting vista anymore or is this just a total write off. Feeling pretty fucking stupid lol.
I'm sure he'd take it as a compliment. After all Zane is the best lawyer in this god damn city
You are god damn right
Lol there's worse things and lots of firms, I bet the person thought it was funny, and if they didn't then you probably don't work to at a shop where mixing up last names is a death sentence
If the Vista folk find this as hilarious as I do, you're fine.
I'd bet this isn't the first time this happened.
It’s fine I’ve done that before, that doesn’t mean you can no longer recruit there. Remember finance folks get 100s of emails every day they can care less honestly
I am the VP you spoke with this morning..
Thought your comment was pretty funny, don’t sweat it!
I'm currently at Vista, and I assure you that everyone at the firm is super chill and would find that hilarious. Don't stress it – just send them a thank you note and add a line telling them you realized your mistake after the call.
At least you didn't mention Mr. Zane's tax issues :)
