Am I overthinking this? Had a final interview today with a VP and it only lasted 30 min. She only ended up asking me two questions. The other rounds of interviews were all an hour long.

Def overthinking unless the role directly reports into VP

Over thinking for sure. Interviews at that level wouldn’t need to be an hour.

VP is doing culture fit check . These types of calls are mostly conversational. I think you would be OK

like

Culture fit makes me cringe.

VP isn’t the one making the decision. They will defer to the judgement of those you are reporting to. If you got there after two rounds it’s likely just a formality to meet the person and make sure you’re not an idiot in front of execs. 30 minutes in an exec calendar is normal.

It could mean two things, Other interviewers already gave a strong positive feedback and found you as a good fitment. I think this is applicable in your case
or the other possibility is unfavorable one.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Automatic red flag to have an engagement kickoff just before the holidays, receive emails at all hours of the day (to include weekends/holidays), be told there’s a lot to do but “it’ll be a great opportunity”, and then be told leadership wants people to prioritize work life balance?
