Nah but maybe you did better than you think

Very true. This is what happened to me. Pray for the best.

I continued to the next round, but eventually didn't get the role. Practice makes perfect - keep at it.

What makes you feel like you did poorly on the case portion? Did you get actual feedback or are you just assuming based on how you felt at the time? Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

thanks everyone for the benefit of the doubt & confidence boost! But in this case, I’m pretty sure I botched it lol. messed up a calculation completely, which thru me off guard and led me to making a bunch of other mistakes after that. (I forgot to ask for all the costs!) also didn’t answer 1-2 of the questions correctly (bluffed on them). it’s been a few days since the interview so don’t remember the exact mistakes but just tryna tame my expectations. Is getting a second interview likely?

hey Umd! I botched a case and made it to the final round last week, but I think that says something about the lack of competition/quality of the firm tho

hey fellow terp! this is helpful to know :) can I ask if you did anything after the case like email your interviews about it? I know I could do better so wondering if I should ask for a second chance or not…

I did not (didn’t have the interviewers contact info). also the turn around was 1day because the final round was 2 days later
