I hate to say it, but the answer is probably yes - RIP (unfortunately).
I think you'd have a lot better shot if it was a week-long case study... but 18 minutes late on a 3 hour case study is pretty significant.
Keep your chin up and get the next one.
Apologies, for the wording but this is really dumb. What light that does shine on you? A person who forgets about the most basic things...Unless your case is some over the top fantastic thing you are out..
These answers are ridiculous. Either they care about the exact time, or they don’t. Or they do, but not enough to cut you for that reason alone. Or they do, but you performed well enough to look past it. Or....
You get my point. Nobody can answer for you. No point ruminating on it. It’s not ideal but you can’t crystal ball this situation.
Amen. Focus on what you have control over.
Had a friend send in his 3-day case study 12 hours late , he got the offer, for what it’s worth. But it’s with a smaller fund and the admin organizing it was not the most organized (sending out different cutoff times for different candidates, etc)
I have done 5 case studies. For 3 of them, I sent each one in late, and still got to next rounds. 1) 1 hr 15 minutes given, took 1:30 mins (got the offer) 2) 3 hours given, sent draft after 3 hours 10 mins, full version 3 hours 40 mins (got to next rounds) 3) 5.5 hours given, after 5 hours I gave them an update it would take an hour more, and sent it in after 6.5 hours (got the offer)
Your a boss. That’s why.
They'll forgive some extra time in exchange for a quality, thoughtful work product
Depends bruh. If you're applying for a Japanese fund and you're 1 min late, you can bid the application sayonara
We always send buy-side bids in 1-2 days late?!
