Has anyone received an offer after someone who interviewed you asked how you think your interview went? I’m 2/2 with rejections after being asked that following a final interview ☹️...

Dang, congrats! That would have freaked me out too haha.

Yep. I told them what I had learnt through the interview process and the new reasons it had given me to be interested in the role. I was honest that I thought there were some questions I could have answered more effectively but put it down to some nerves.

In my case it was a bit of a negotiating tactic on their side. I was pushing for a much higher salary than usual so they wanted to make sure I was keen & willing to collaborate with them on an offer that worked for us both. We did a bit of back and forth and got to a great solution.

Have confidence and be honest. If you have a crappy interview, say you have a crappy interview and you’re frustrated. If you loved it, say you loved it. People aren’t idiots and it is respectful to be honest (politely, of course).

Interesting, I hadn’t thought about it as a negotiating tactic. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I did like a fish bowl panel interview once, and they asked what I thought of the interview process. I basically told them I thought it sucked in nicer words. Still got an offer

Sounds like a pretty decent culture to be at, happy to hear it worked out

How do you evaluate the financial health/viability of a startup you’re interviewing with? Are there specific questions you ask and/or external research you do? A company I’m interviewing with offers equity, and they say they anticipate going IPO or being bought out by a larger company in the industry. I know any company will put its best foot forward during interviews, so I’m trying to figure out to accurately evaluate those statements.
