Had a final round at a buyside firm and kinda confused.
They only asked me “tell me about yourself,” no follow-ups, then went straight to me asking questions and ended early.
I know other candidates got full behavioral rounds with multiple questions.
Didn’t feel like I bombed it, and I did well in the case before this.
Is this usually a bad sign or could it just be timing / interviewer style?
