Feel like I screwed up the bar raiser interview for aws. The rest of the interviews went well. Any chance i might get thru?

If the bar raiser is not inclined then no. However if you did really well in the other interviews, those interviewers may try to convince the bar raiser which can lead to a hire. Or sometimes you can get downleveled. This is based on my experience conducting interviews at Amazon.

Why do you think you screwed?

I fumbled to answer the “failure” question - my example was not fully aligned with the star format and tbh it was not the example i had prepped - it came out the wrong way. Not sure if i was able to recover after that error - dont recall the rest of the interview because i kept thinking about the answer i screwed up on and that may have affected the following answers negatively too 😞

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
