OP- there was a thread a while back about a guy thinking he nailed an interview only to realize his fly was open the whole time. It was not me. He felt terrible about it.

OP- be confident but don't bullshit. Always remember that people interviewing are smarter & most will know when someone is BSng. Be honest. If you don't know something say so but add that you are always willing to learn. Good luck!

@OP. Come up with a list of the top three skills needed for the target job and be able to provide specific examples of how you nail those skills. Talk about your drive and willingness to do what it takes to get the job done, as well as your passion for learning and finding ways to be more efficient, which can increase productivity. Have examples ready.

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.
