I took a modeling test this morning for an interview and realize now I had one stupid error. Really dumb error. 90% of it was done correctly aside from this. Thoughts?

Took a coding exercise once. Accidentally entered an extra zero and all of the outputs were off by 10x. Hiring manager was happy overall with the thought process and the code though, so still got the job. Don’t sweat it too much - not a death sentence especially if the rest of the exercise (and your resume/other interviews) are strong

You’ll fail ! They look for 100% right ! I’m sorry !

Dude frankly, don’t worry. A mistake can happen. And if it’s a place where a 10% mistake can’t happen, trust me you don’t want to work there. If it is such a place, the amount of pressure you’ll live under will slowly kill you.
Finally, don’t worry about it. You got an interview only 4% of the world or less could have.
Take care

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
