I worked in consulting from 2019 - 2022 at big4. It was the first 3 yrs in my career. i was interviewing for a role today and the hiring manager asked who the client was. It was public and the report itself is public (with my name attached to it + the rest of the project team) so I said who it was. I mentioned I presented it to the CEO. Hiring manager said “junior talent doesn’t present to c-suite”. I said I did. He said, “really? What was the ceo’s name?” (Continued in comments)

Very weird reaction from the hiring manager. You're free to say whatever you want, and they're free to take it however they want. But to challenge you....very weird

I said I cant recall as it was in 2020. I described the project details in full, but I genuinely did not expect to be asked the name of the CEO.
Was this on me to remember? Augh i feel so foolish.

Generally managers and above present so I understand the skepticism but weird of him to call you out like that. There is nothing odd about not remembering the CEOs name though..

Ya i said id provide a reference if required and he said “not required”

Wreaks of jealousy

I don’t want to invite potential conflict by updating my landlord, my lawyer partner says the no pets clause is void in toronto anyway - but I worry about a bad landlord reference if they find out i.e come for repairs.
