Whenever I’ve asked, it wasn’t a right answer vs wrong answer situation. Just a simple “are they a sociopath?” temperature check, really. The simplest and safest answer is along the lines of taking a moment to step back for a more thoughtful response.

Failure is common and how we learn. Consider using an example where you were unsuccessful and be able to articulate why you failed and what you learned. Others I’ve experienced: give me a time you’ve wanted to go a different direction than your team. What was the situation? How did you attempt to persuade them? How did it turn out?

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.
