Final Round Interview With Group Head - Confirmation Interview?
Mates,
Did a super day Friday morning (did really well) and got strong feedback almost immediately after and was told they would have one last interview with the Group Head on Tuesday and that it would only be ~15 minutes. Then they will have a final decision for me mid week or end of week.
I want to be optimistic on this and believe that they don't have the Group Head talking to several different candidates post-superday but i'm also not sure why they would wait until week end to give an offer if they didn't have other candidates still alive in the process?
Assuming I don't totally shit the bed on Tuesday, would you lot generally assume the final, final round will be more of a confirmation round before receiving an offer, or do you think there are likely other candidates doing post-superday interviews with the group head? Anyone have any insight as to what this means, whose seen it from the inside?
Don't even start with me, Monkey Bot.
I'd be very surprised if they don't have him talking to at least 2-3 other candidates, and the timing they gave you seems to confirm that.
These are not just check the box interviews, as the group head he can give a yes/no on anyone so they will not just give him one candidate or expect him to rubber stamp anyone he's not sold on. The short time is likely because he has a tight calendar rather than being a less serious interview... would prepare for mostly fit/motivational type questions but have to be ready for everything of course.
Ugh, sucks. I hate recruiting. Especially on Visa.
I'd say it's likely you're one of just two or three candidates at this point. If it's a big firm they're more likely to be talking to more candidates. If it's a smaller firm running a totally unstructured recruiting process I actually would think it's fairly likely that you might be the only candidate at this stage right now.
It does frequently take 1-3 business days to get an actual offer turned around. Different internal processes have to play out its nobody on the deal team's first priority during working hours to pass their feedback/approval/etc. on to HR.
Don’t speculate, just nail it
Congrats on getting to the final round! How did it turn out? I am in the same situation now just had a final round interview. Wonder how long did it take for them to get back to you?
I had to hold tight for 2 days before HR called and said they were in process of putting an offer together internally. I think I signed a written offer letter by end of week. My gut was that the job was mine to lose and the Group Head interview was a check the box thing and that was exactly what it was.
Hey man, glad to hear it ended up going well. In similar position as you were as well, got any tips for going into it? Like you, did “final round” few days before and now have a meeting with group head scheduled “[bank name] opportunity” as opposed to just interview. Any advice helps, thanks!
The best possible advice I can give here is to psychologically get yourself in the mode of “this is a serious interview, not at all a formality”.
I got one of these after a super day. It’s not like I shit the bed or anything on it and actually thought it went well, but was kind of shocked to not get the offer, so keep in mind it absolutely can and does happen
