When a Gut Feeling Goes Wrong
Hey fellas,
I just had an interview for a PE analyst position pretty much out of undergrad. It was my dream job, and I shot myself in the foot. I thought I was doing quite well, but I had the distinct feeling that I was not going onto the next round since I thought my interviewer was conveying to me that I did not do enough research on the firm. After about 10 minutes after the interview, I called her back up. My plan was to spit all the research I had done on the firm to prove her wrong. I have bet on myself my whole life so fuck it right? I introduced myself, made her aware that I knew it was weird to call her back, and I told her "shooter's shoot". I barely got into my first sentence before they cut me off and told me I was overthinking it. Now, I could have truly gone onto the next road and just killed that chance. On the other hand, I could have shown my desire to be at the firm. I have had that same feeling before, but I never called the interviewer back. Either way, we'll see in a week or so. They might even realize it's me from this post, but what's the worst that could happen? I guess the moral of the story is that you should always trust your gut. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. Just roll with the punches and keep networking.
Wut
Was pretty drunk when I wrote this, but basically doubled down on a bet that was going south anyway (in my mind, at least). I just had the feeling to just do it, so I did it. No regrets honestly - will update when I hear back.
This post gave me second hand anxiety
It was definitely nerve-wracking, cuz who the fuck does that right? Just felt right in the moment - only time will tell how this hail Mary plays out.
"shooter's shoot" LMAO hoping this is a troll
