Massively messed up a timed modeling case today. Wasn’t even able to finish in the allotted time... The VP I’m interviewing with is super nice though, so is it worth it to take a second stab at it and send him the finished version asking for feedback? Do you think that could salvage the situation or should I just take my losses?

You wouldn't lose out on anything if you take another stab, so why not

Couldn’t hurt and honestly I’d appreciate the tenacity a move like this would show.

Yes!!

Would you mind sharing where you messed up? Lessons learned?

And definitely go that route, it shows you are serious about the opportunity and proactive to correct mistakes!

Got it! Tks for the quick response. Best of luck.
