I recently met with a recruiter at Microsoft and really hit it off with her. She scheduled me for an interview with the hiring manager on the following Monday. (Yesterday)
Husband and I are staying at his brothers right now, moved across states last week and my sister in law went into labor at 3am Sunday night. I got no sleep yet kept my scheduled interview. Ended up doing really bad. I was totally out of it and couldn’t communicateeffectively about my experience. Should I ask for 2nd chance?

That’s tricky, second chances are hard to come by in recruiting. What role is it? Maybe tell the recruiter and you may be able to get an interview with another hiring manager in the future.

No harm in asking but you probably won’t get it, there are a lot of candidates out there right now that they can pick and choose from

You may not have blown it so don't do anything until you know if you are being moved on in the process. If you go back to the recruiter asking for a second chance before you know the outcome of the screen you will come off as desperate and weird. The recruiter is primarily evaluating you for top level skills and fit. It may be perfectly fine if you didn't go too deep into your background as long as you hit on the main points. Don't be so hard on yourself. Did you tell the recruiter in the small talk portion of the call that your SIL went into labor in the middle of the night?

I need help!!! Got an offer for Citi Private Bank at 110k for an Associate Banker (A1) position. Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!
