Take the feedback. It’s great news you have the skill set fit that you were afraid you didn’t have! Maybe in trying to project confidence you came across as too proud? I have noticed that consultants can talk big/have big egos. Some VCs are like that too but others are really humble people - just depends on the size and culture of the VC but a good thing to keep in mind for the future. If you know now this is something you need to determine about each VC before going in (how humble the culture is) then you’ll be in an even better spot for future interviews
Just surprised as I have like no finance experience and thought I may have came off as too obsequious
So, you were too humble? What?
Verbatim from headhunter: “[VC] let us know that it was a great skills/background fit but unfortunately they had concerns with humility / personality fit. Sorry about that.”
What exactly did they say about humility? That's a pretty sensitive feedback to give.
Tough luck on this one. Keep moving with force. Don't let this deter you. Good luck.
