BB phone interview question

Hi everyone,
My phone interview with a BB today is with their COO. Can anyone tell me, is this an especially good sign for me? Or is this normal for interviews?
All my other 1st round interviews were with associates...

I'm just curious. Thanks :)

 

ended up not being a crazy big deal... pretty much a nice conversation with a really interesting person. oh and alexpasch: that's the reason i asked. it seemed off to me too, and i didn't know if i should be excited, freaking out, or what thanks for the (polite) responses and help, everyone!

 

Probably the COO of the Securities division, or they separate it by region too.

I wouldn't make too much of it, I'm in contact with a COO at a BB constantly, he even emails me to keep in touch lol. Management is management - they're not trading anymore and COOs do a lot for recruiting.

The upside to that is you don't have to feel pressure! Chillax and just do whatcha gotta do.
