Question:

I just finished the final round interview for a manager role in compliance tech for a multi-tril bank.

For some reason I blanked on a technical SQL question.

I plan on sending a routine ‘Thank You’ email to the interviewers, but in the email should I include the answer to the technical SQL question?

No because they’ll think you googled it. Just accept the mistake. They know technical stuff can be taught to you on the job

I second this. I would just send a thank you and call it a day.

I agree. If you have another interview and there’s a chance to address it based on what they ask you, then maybe take advantage of that. I would not do it in the email or bring it up unless it is on topic somehow in a future conversation. Good luck!

It might feel tempting to, but it's ok if the interview wasn't completely perfect. An employer who would disqualify you based on blanking on one answer probably isn't an employer you'd want to work for anyway. Be gracious to yourself & maybe you'll get the opportunity in another interview to demonstrate that you knew the answer.

How significant is SQL/Database knowledge in your role? If not I wouldn’t worry about it, and as a manager you would have the power to get SMEs for this anyway

Now I feel dumb, I didn’t realize you did final round interview for some reason. I still think it is better to not address the answer in the email. I also agree with FD1 that one moment of blanking out on an answer should not disqualify you. Especially if you built good rapport or made a good impression in other ways

I personally, would and have done this

I did this and still got the job

Sent a thank you addressing my mistake and the answer that is

Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
