Same analyst interviewing me at different firm... how screwed am I?

Stop worrying about what you cannot change, take his previous comments (no matter how disrespectful) as criticism, and knock this interview about of the ballpark.

How the hell do we know if he remembers anything about you? Maybe, maybe not? Of course his impression will affect your chances, that is, if you show that you haven't changed and learned from your prior interview.

Sounds like you lack confidence. You probably asked these same types of questions in your initial interview with the analyst, which is why he would make such comments.

Become more self aware.

Guy sounds like a dick. We view interviews as an opportunity to market our bank's reputation, even among those we won't make an offer to.

Even when someone clearly doesn't meet our requirements, we're polite and positive.

Dumping shit on someone in an interview and risking them walk out of the room talking down our bank is Interviewer Technique 101 failure.

On a career level, it's not positive to dump shit on someone who you could find yourself across the table from years later.

Of course, my view doesn't help your situation.

Never understood why some douchey guys in the field go to such great lengths to make others feel bad. Especially about dumb shit like your GPA, not being able to answer technicals, being seemingly incompetent etc.

Fuck that dude. He's probably insecure and trying to overcompensate for his tiny dick.

1. not sure how you have this information already. 2. this might sound ridiculous, but since you do have the information, maybe bring it up to HR?

my experience regarding these situations is that you're screwed. as such, i would be less worried about the repercussions of talking to HR and voicing your concerns then repeating a prior experience.

i seriously doubt he'll forget you unless you believe he treated every candidate the same way.

you made my day!! sorry man, well I think he won't remember you, UNLESS you made quite a bad impression the 1st time, and even if he remembers youo and acts like a jacka**, just tell him that last time he saw you his criticism was constructive, you knew what you had to work on more and now you're ready to take the challenge again, I think it would show your motivation for the job, hope everything goes well for you this time .

1) Don't even think about talking to HR, that's a terrible idea and I can imagine at a round table people laughing about that when they hear (and not in a good way).

2) Notthehospital... has the right idea, for this guy's interview just placate him and make it seem like your first interaction with him had an impact on you in a positive way . People who think they are way more important than they are (aka an analyst who would feel the need to throw a bad interview in someone's face) would be over the moon if they thought you looked up to them as a mentor and respected their opinion that much (even though it seems like you'd be faking it)

3) Not sure how this hasn't come up yet, but if you're having a super day then you're meeting with Associates, VPs, MDs etc and this guy will likely have a pretty small voice in the eventual decision. Obviously do a good job on technicals and check the box stuff, win over other analysts / Associates on personality so you get the junior fit vote and really impress a VP or an MD. If a more senior person opens the convo with a positive comment about a candidate, then it's pretty rare for a junior to come back over the top and say no fucking way. Seen it happen before where someone not all the junior team liked got the offer, goes down something like laid out below:

MD: I liked candidate X a lot I thought he was very good Analyst / Associate Jackass trying to passively get this guy out: Yeah I didn't think they were very good, didn't have a great interview with me MD: What did they mess up? Analyst: They didn't necessarily mess anything up, just didn't think they'd be a good fit / they might not be able to make it as an analyst (here is where you need to make sure you get all the check the box stuff right, b/c if the analyst can come back with couldn't do a DCF or something like that, you're dead) MD: Did anyone else have a problem with them / think they were weak? Other analysts / associates: Thought the candidate was fine (here is where you need at least a luke warm endorsement from other juniors, or if you get a positive endorsement that's great) MD: Maybe they just had a bad interview with you, everyone else thinks they're fine, let's give them a shot

As an analyst you need to pick your battles for when to push back on MDs, and behind your work, role on the team, work life balance, invites to meetings etc., this is a pretty low place on the list to pick a battle to get rid of a candidate an MD liked.

So in summary, placate the guy, who thought you were terrible, make someone above his head really like you.
