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.

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 

 

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.
